A gallon of paint covers about 300 square feet at a usual thickness of one coat; your example of 0.1 cm thick is very thick coat, equivalent to about 6 coats of paint at least; you could cover about 300/6 =50 square feet at that thickness.

2.81 gallons for every 1/100 of an inch thick. Most paints are applied at 4 mils wet, so they usually cover about 400 square foot per gallon. So you'd need about a gallon and a quart to cover 450 square feet.

What is the Average cost of 5 gallons of white house paint?
"thick paint" is very vague. what is thick to YOU may not be thick to me. It depends on the type of paint, ( latex, alkyd, enamel etc,) -it's actual viscosity, how you apply it ( brush, roller, spray etc ) and finally the smoothness of the surface. 5 gal could cover anything from 500 to 2,000 square feet. - An average household latex applied to a smooth surface with a roller will cover about 300 sq.ft. per gallon.
