 Estimating Paint
Here's how to estimate how much paint you need for the job. Most paints will cover about four hundred square feet per gallon but check the label. If the surface is rough or porous, add twenty percent. If it's the first coat on concrete, double the figure. With brushes or rollers, figure a waste factor of ten percent.
