first, it greatly depends on if your painting new, clean drywall - w/o primer or if your painting a remodel, or a dingy lid that needs a fresh coat. Multiple rooms in the same building? Color Changes? Too many variables. Unless you're working an airless sprayer and the job is a new forty unit apt complex, i would focus more on the time involved for the specific job and not worry too much about Sq footage beyond how much paint you need.

Was Michelangelo forced to paint on the celling of the Sistine Chaple?
No. He was commissioned to paint the ceiling, but because he was perfectionist it took him longer than it should have. He wouldn't like a section that he had finished and would take it out starting over. This caused a bit of a disagreement between him and the Pope.

How do you spray paint a ceiling?
Canvas ceilings were almost universally covered with calcimine paint, a Whiting-based (chalk) paint with few binders. If you try to paint over calcimine paint with anything other than new calcimine paint you will have a mess on your hands, as the new paint will pull what is essentially chalk dust from the canvas. NEVER use latex or oil-based paint to recoat calcimine. To read up on calcimine paint, go to the following URL: http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=calcimine+paint&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 Then go to the oldest paint store in your town and ask the oldest person employed there if the store still carries calcimine paint. (Young clerks won't have a clue.) Just be aware that when you add the weight of a gallon of paint to a canvas ceiling, the ceiling may sag in the middle from the added weight. It is therefore recommended that the old paint be removed first. To remove old calcimine paint from a canvas ceiling: Mix a pint of warm water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid in a new plastic spray bottle. Mist the ceiling a few square feet at a time. Waiting a few minutes, then use a large cooking spoon (one with no sharp edges) to gently remove some of the old paint as it loosens, starting at a crack in the paint if possible. This is a tedious job, but it must be done or the new paint will no adhere well to the canvas. Let the canvas dry thoroughly for several days before reapplying calcimine paint. One thin coat should do. Good luck!

How long did it take Michelangelo to paint the ceiling to the Sistine chapel?
4 years. He stopped and started on it and often redid what he all ready had done. It was 70 feet from floor to ceiling and he had to erect scaffolding to reach the ceiling and laid on his back painting. I have seen the ceiling 3 times and since it was cleaned the figures look like they are moving. The Vatican has a web site for the ceiling so go there to see it.
