350 sq feet is the SHORT answer!

But please read below so you don't run short!

Really a great question with only another question for an answer.. Depends on how thick (viscous) the paint is, how rough the surface is, how thick a coat you want & probably a few other variables.

If we are talking a mid grade Latex paint from Home Depot, figure about 350 for "average" & if the surface is course, paint is thin or you are rolling it, those will all change the coverage.

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.


How much paint is needed to cover 100 square feet?

To determine how much paint is needed to cover 100 square feet, you first need to know the coverage area of the paint you are using. This is typically indicated on the paint can as the coverage rate in square feet per gallon. Once you have this information, you can calculate the amount of paint needed by dividing the total square footage (100 sq. ft.) by the coverage rate of the paint. For example, if the coverage rate is 250 sq. ft. per gallon, you would need 0.4 gallons of paint (100 sq. ft. / 250 sq. ft. per gallon = 0.4 gallons).
