The thickness of a single coat of paint typically ranges from 2 to 4 mils (0.002 to 0.004 inches) when applied properly. This thickness can vary depending on the type of paint and the application method, such as brushing, rolling, or spraying. It's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for optimal results and to avoid issues like drips or uneven coverage.

The amount of paint needed for a single wide mobile home typically depends on its size and the number of coats desired. On average, a single wide mobile home measures about 800 to 1,200 square feet, requiring approximately 2 to 3 gallons of paint for one coat. For two coats, you should plan on 4 to 6 gallons. Always check the paint can for specific coverage details and consider the surface texture and type of paint used.
Anywhere from 300-500 square feet depending on the thickness/thinness of the paint, how many coats you're putting on from a single can, and how large the surface is you're painting. However, 300-500 square feet is an approximate average of how much a gallon of paint should cover.

I have a clear coat and a coat of capture log home stain (Sashco) on my log home, I would like to paint over it with a latex paint, is this possible?
A bunch for sure
Mixing clearcoat with paint, will ruin the paint.For enamel paints, make sure you use an enamel clearcoat. You should allow the paint to fully cure (at least a week) before attempting to apply the clearcoat. Never use a lacquer based clearcoat on an enamel based paint. It will ruin it.For lacquer based paint, you should only use a lacquer based clearcoat. The paint should be dry, but does not have to be fully cured, since the lacquer will wet the coat of paint below it anyway.
That would depend on whether you had to pay for paint, how much paint costs, how many coats you need to give it, and how fast you can paint. If I have to buy the paint, I would ask at least $200 to give it one coat of cheap paint, with no guarantees.
