How many square feet at 1 mil thickness will 1 gallon of paint cover?

It depends on the percent of solids. To simplify this, after all the liquid (solvent) part has evaporated, the pigment (solids) is what remains. One gallon of paint having 100% pigment (solids) or no solvent in it, will cover 1600 square feet at 1 mil thickness. If one gallon of paint has 50% pigment (solids) and 50% liquid (solvent), then one gallon of paint would have a net or dry film of 800 square feet.
