How Much Paint Will You Need?
By following these basic steps, working out the amount of paint you'll need is easy.
- Measure each surface to be painted by multiplying the height by the length or width.
- Calculate the areas that won't be painted, such as doorways & windows.
- Subtract the non-paint areas from the overall surface area. This provides an estimate of the number of square metres to be painted.
To work out how much paint you will need to purchase, simply divide you estimate by the number of square metres specified under "Coverage" on every can.
Remember: Most jobs require two coats of paint as a rule, it is always better to have a little too much paint than not enought.
Surface Preparation
Thorough surface preparation is the key to a good paint job. For a professional paint fiish, be sure to follow all the preparation hints & intructions on the back of the can.
