The coverage of paint depends on the texture of the surface that is being painted. Theoretically, a quart of ordinary house paint, spread at 4 mils thickness on a smooth surface will cover 100 square feet. However, as texture of the surface increases, the coverage will drop. A quart of paint could yield 50 square feet or less on a rough stucco or corrugated surface.

What happens when you paint an electrical outlet?

That depends upon how neatly you paint. If you get paint inside the slots, it could interfere with the electrical connection that is supposed to be made when you insert a plug. If you only paint the outside and get no paint inside, then there is no effect on the functioning of the outlet.ANOTHER OPTION:Child proof plastic outlet covers can be painted over when painting the actual outlet. When you want to use the outlet, remove the plastic cover. When the outlet plug is not in use, insert the child proof plastic covers. The plastic cover will blend right in with the outlet cover plate. It looks very nice with Hammered Spray Paint!

How many liter of paint can cover a 12.15 square meter?

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.
