how much paint will i need for my room. its 96'; by 94'; and 90'; floor to ceiling theres 1 door and 1 small window. im not painting ceiling, doors or window ledge. just the four walls. how many pots of paint would i need to buy?How many pots of paint ceiling?
96inches=2.438metres
94inches=2.388metres
90inches=2.286metres
5.57x2walls= 11.14
5.46x2walls= 10.92
10.92+11.14=22.06
1 tin (2.5 litres) Crown or Dulux TRADE (not retail) will cover 37.5 metres 虏
1 tin (1 litre) Crown or Dulux TRADE (not retail) will cover 15 metres 虏
22.06 (total area) x 2 coats = 44.12
37.5 (2.5 litres) + 15 (1 litre) = 52.5
So you would need 3.5 litres of paint max.
I would shop at a trade centre NOT a retail outlet as the paint is better quality and has more pigment, so goes further.
Buy 2.5 litres and if it not enough go back for another litre. 20% water mixed in ,first coat, 10% or less in second.
good luckHow many pots of paint ceiling?
A 5 ltr tub.
One big pot of paint should do it.
5 litres will cover it with 2 coats,
uk paint comes in litres,5 litres
will give the walls 2 coats.
When you shop for paint, there will be a place on the label that tells you how many square footage one gallon will cover, most of the time this figure is a bit over rated. Go by what the can says and add a extra gallon to that. This will also give you some paint left over that can be used for touch-ups later on.
2 gallons, and 2 gallons of primer
if you use a light color, it will make the room seem bigger
one gallon.
