Best Answer

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!
