"thick paint" is very vague. what is thick to YOU may not be thick to me. It depends on the type of paint, ( latex, alkyd, enamel etc,) -it's actual viscosity, how you apply it ( brush, roller, spray etc ) and finally the smoothness of the surface. 5 gal could cover anything from 500 to 2,000 square feet. - An average household latex applied to a smooth surface with a roller will cover about 300 sq.ft. per gallon.

Depends on how much paint you want, If you want 11 gallons, three gallons of red are needed. If you have two gallons of white paint, you'll need three quarts of red paint. Take however much you need to do the job, divide that amount by 11, multiply that total by three and that will tell you how much red paint you need.

3.4 quarts of white. -- -- -- If you have 8.5 quarts of blue paint, and you want to use it all in this mixture, then you know that 8.5 quarts is the five parts of blue in this formula. 8.5 quarts divided by 5 equals 1.7 quarts. so 1.7 quarts is your base unit, or 'one part'. 1.7 quarts * 5 = 8.5 quarts (blue) 1.7 quarts * 2 = 3.4 quarts ( white )
How do you remove red window paint from white painted cement walls without taking off the white paint?
If the white paint is well-bonded to the surface, and the red is very fresh, a lot of times you can use a sharp razor blade to peel the red paint off the white. If the red is stuck on there, I would use a sanding block to remove as much red paint as I could without damaging much of the white paint, then put a coat of white paint over the area. Next time, get a newspaper and tape it to the white walls to protect the building.
