Paint coverage depends on the type of paint (acrylic, alkyd, enamel, latex, etc.), the texture and absorbency of the surface to be painted, and the type of application (brush, roller, or spray). A first coat of paint usually requires more paint than a second or third coat because it reduces absorbency by making the surface smoother. Most paint manufacturers specify coverage for their paint to be somewhere around 8.6 square meters per liter, so it would probably take about 1.5 liters to cover 12.15 meters with a single coat.

The coverage of paint can vary based on the type and brand, but a general estimate is that 1 liter of paint covers about 10 to 12 square meters. Therefore, 16 liters of paint would typically cover approximately 160 to 192 square meters. It's always best to check the specific paint can for coverage details, as it may differ.

How thick is it
It depends on the paint. It should say on the can how much it will cover.
