89 A room is 7'6 wide by 9'0 long with a ceiling height of 8'0. One gallon of flat paint will cover approximately 400 square fee of wall. The number of gallons of this paint required to paint the wall?
Ignoring any allowance for doors and windows then the wall area of this square room is : 4 x 20 x 12 = 960 sq feet. As three coats are being applied then the total area = 3 x 960 = 2880 sq ft. 1 gallon of paint covers 465 sq ft therefore 2880 sq ft requires 2880/465 = 6.1935 gallons. 1 gallon of paint costs $20. Assume the paint is sold in 1 gallon tins then 7 tins will be required at a cost of 7 x 20 = $140. NOTE : If the ceiling is also being painted then this has an area of 20 x 20 = 400 sq ft. Wall + Ceiling area = 960 + 400 = 1360 sq ft. Paint area = 3 x 1360 = 4080 sq ft. Paint required = 4080/465 = 8.7742 gallons. Therefore 9 tins costing $180.
How do you touch up ceiling paint?
It helps to have the same paint that was used to paint the ceiling in the first place. Next best option is knowing the exact color and product the paint was in. Next to impossible is buying a can of "ceiling paint" and using that. There are way to many different shades and sheens of ceiling paint to guess. Thin out the paint approx one ounce of water or thinner, depending on the paint base, to eight ounces of paint. Brush or roll the area that is being touched up, then feather out the edges of the paint so that it blends into the existing paint. Feather out means to spread the paint along the edge of the touch up area into the surrounding area so that the touch up doesn't have a hard edge.
How many coats of paint can one gallon of paint cover?

How much paint is need to paint 4100 sq ft exterior?
A gallon of paint will cover approx 350 square feet. So, it should take a bit more than eleven and a half gallons. If you purchase the paint by five gallon pail, you'll save some enbulk, and you'll have left-overs for touch up.This will give you enough paint to paint either the ceiling of the floors since the 4064 is FLOOR area. If you want to figure the amount of paint needed to paint the walls on the inside or out, then you'll need to add up the square footage of the walls, divide THAT total by 350, then multiply times the number of coats you're going to apply. Add eleven and a half gallons to that total if you also want to paint the ceiling.

Call it ' A '.Figuring the number of gallons of paint:-- Go to the place where you can shop for paint.Find the color and type of paint you want to use.-- Look on the can, or ask, and find out the area that 1 gallon covers.

It depends on the height of the ceilings. If they are 10 feet, that would put the painted area at 420 square feet. Paint covers approx 350 - 400 square feet per gallon over a sealed surface, depending on the texture of the wall so it would take about 1 1/2 gallons of paint for one coat. Lower ceilings will use a little less, cathedral or tall ceilings more. Add in another gallon if you are painting the ceiling.

What color should you paint your ceiling?
Ceilings are a much neglected surface for paint. I have decorator friend who claim a ceiling should never be anything but white, but I disagree.I used a midnight blue on the ceiling of my studio against everyone's advice (they all claimed it would bring the ceiling down) but I found it was like working outdoors on a clear night. The ceiling all but disappeared from my consciousness.I have done murals on several ceilings, included pale blue with fluffy little clouds in a nursery, and the canopy of a forest in a young man's room.I love to do the faux coffered ceiling look by adding a moulding a foot or so from the wall and painting the outer area a slightly darker shade of the colour I paint the inner area. Even if you just paint the ceiling a much lighter colour of your wall colour it tends to add a bit of something special to the room.
How many gallons of paint do I need to paint 16x32 feet?
I t would depend on the paint- Most paints tell you the coverage area on the side of the can. If not, the people that sell the paint should be able to tell you. MY wild guess would be that one gallon would cover that relatively small area.
