How many coats of white paint is needed to cover a dark surface of up to 600 sq ft?
Zabrizzle7187
The answer will depend on the quality of the paint, the coverage of the paint and the preparation of the surface being painted.
The Lowe's paint calculator says primer covers 200 square feet per gallon, and paint covers 350 square feet per gallon. Assuming for a dark surface you need at least 2 coats, and you are only using paint and not primer, and not knowing the type of paint, I would start with 3 gallons to be sure you have enough for 2 coats, and then see how it looks. If you need three coats, you might still have enough.

How much does a 5 gallon bucket exterior paint cover?
Paint coverage is dependent on many factors: 1) Each manufacturer and paint mixture cover different amounts of surface area. The average coverage area can be located on the label for the product. 2) Primers cover less surface area then finish paint. Primers are needed to properly seal the surface to ensure the finish coats of paint not only bond well to the surface but to ensure color consistency across the painted surface. Primers, depending on the product and the surface, can cover approximately 300-350 sq feet per gallon. 3) Paint coverage also varies between manufacturers and their specific paint lines. With that being said paint covers approximately 400-450 square feet of surface per gallon. If the surface is porous expect the coverage area to be less. So therefore 5 gallons of paint should cover 2000-2250 square feet on average (400-450 sq feet multiply by 5 gallons). Hope this helps!
