Pro Painting Tips
- Buy a Little Extra: It's always wise to buy about 10-15% more paint than you estimate for touch-ups and unexpected needs.
- Factor in Primer: If you are painting over a dark color with a lighter one, you will likely need a coat of primer, which will affect your total cost and effort.
- Surface Texture Matters: Rough or textured walls will absorb more paint, increasing the amount you need. This calculator assumes smooth walls.
- Check Coverage Rates: The standard 350 sq. ft. per gallon is an average. Check the specific paint can for its listed coverage rate for the most accurate estimate.
