CALCULATOR

Quizes---Sitemap

You can use our Paint Calculator to ESTIMATE how many Gallons of Paint you will need for a particular job (for each coat of Paint). Type in the required demensions, and type in how many Square Feet per Gallon the Paint is supposed to yield (we recommend using a conservative value of 300 sq. ft. per Gallon). If you have a Door or Window or both on any one or two of the Walls, type in the approximate dimensions of them also... NEXT click the "Calculate" button for your results!

NOTE: For rough surfaces like Block, Brick or Stucco, use 20% LESS for the Coverage Value ... so 300 - (.2 X 300) = 240 sq. ft. per Gallon!

NOTE: To Calculate requirements for a CEILING, use the Calculator again and type in the dimensions for the CEILING into the WALL dimension's Width and Height boxes!
