Best Answer

It depends on the kind of paint it can veri from 39 ft to 50 ft if used right

Improved Answer: Even a high build elastomeric paint goes 80 square feet a gallon. A standard gallon of paint has a theoretical coverage rate of 400 sq ft. However, this amount will be reduced on a porous or textured surface as much as half.

How much does it cost to paint a 600 sq ft?

To answer this question, you need to know how much a gallon or unit of the paint can cover and the price per gallon or unit of the paint. Let us say a gallon covers 120 sq ft and it costs 10 dollars a gallon. You would need 600/120 gallons, which is five gallons and it would cost 5 x 10 dollars, which is fifty dollars. This is just an example, not an estimate. The other cost would be labor if you hired someone to do it. Otherwise you would also have to add the cost of a paint roller and pan, and brushes if you did it yourself.

Rolandos living room is 20ft by 15ft his ceilings are 10ft high if a can of paint covers 150sq ft approximately how many gallons will it take to paint the walls and ceiling?

2 gallons Um, beg to differ.... 20x10=200 x 2 walls...400 sq ft 15X10=150 X 2 walls...300 sq ft 20x15=300sq ft 400+300+300=1000 divided by 150sq ft = 6.67 gallons....if all of the information we have is correct. (this does not take into account doors or windows for which you have not given us any information on) What type of paint are you using that only estimates 150 sq ft per gallon coverage?? Be aware that sometimes the coverage sq ft estimate will vary depending on the surface, existing paint, and the method of application.

How much paint to cover 900 sq ft?

From what I've read you need one gallon of paint to cover between 300 to 400 sq. ft. If you are not going dramatically from one color to another (light to light), then you can probably get away with 1 gallon to 400 sq. ft. However if you are going from a dark to light color, then you should do you calculations with the one gallon to 300 sq. ft. ratio or even less. So, if you're going from light to light you're going to need a minimum of 2 1/2 gallons ( I don't believe you can get a 1/4 gallon of paint) of paint to cover 900 sq. ft. If you are going from a dark to a light then you are going to need a minimum of 3 gallons of paint. I would consult this with an associate at the store though or a professional painter.

How many square feet does a gallon of paint cover?

That would depend on the type of paint you want to use. Usually, the area coverage will be written on the label of the paint can. Approx. 400 sq feet is the coverage on a smooth surface using regular house paint, however, an elastomeric paint would only go approx 80 sq ft per gallon.
