How much does 50 gallons of paint weigh in pounds?

Answer 1

This depends entirely on: What kind of paint and what color. Water based paints weigh no less than 8.3 pounds per gallon, so 415 lbs. But that is with NO color or other chemicals at all. A "Metallic" automotive paint can weigh three times as much as a non-metallic. By the same rules Turpentine weighs 7.25 pounds per gallon.

Answer 2

The weight of 50 gallons of paint can vary depending on the specific type of paint, but generally, paint weighs around 10-12 pounds per gallon. So, 50 gallons of paint would weigh approximately 500-600 pounds.
