How Accurate Is The Painting Estimation?

Painting calculator estimates will not be completely accurate. If the surface is porous or rough, it will require up to 20% more paint. Similarly, intricate fittings need more paint. If you are painting a surface for the first time, you must also add some paint — up to 30% — to prepare the wall. Please keep in mind that our interior paint calculator excludes the ceiling, so if you wish to include it, you'll need to budget for some more paint.

10. What Is "Paint Coverage"? And How Many Square Feet Does 5 Liters Of Paint Cover?

The paint coverage calculation is based on the spreading rate of the paint and the volume of paint required to achieve complete coverage. The spreading rate describes how fast or slowly the paint spreads when applied.

Most paints spread at a rate of 350 square feet per 4 liters, which implies that 4 liters of paint will cover 350 square feet. This may vary depending on the kind of paint, the gloss level, and how rough or smooth the surface you're painting is. Some of the factors you should consider before making your painting calculation include:

Unpainted and dry walls.

Patches, unfinished or dark-coloured walls.
