If you divide 400 by 2000, you get five. So, for 2000 square feet, you'll probably need 5 gallons of interior paint. We recommend top brands, such as Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams. Keep in mind that the higher the degree of gloss, the more visible the surface imperfections under the paint will be.
I saw that there were some calculators on the Internet, but I didn't want to have to measure every wall just to know how many 5-gallon paint buckets I'll need. If you have high ceilings that create sloping walls, follow the instructions for special cases on how to find these square footage. To make sure you have enough paint, don't worry about excluding areas that won't be painted, such as windows and doors. Use this handy tool to enter the dimensions of your painting project, calculate the amount of square footage and find the amount of paint you need per gallon for your interior room, ceiling or exterior cladding.
While all paint jobs are different, there are some variables that are sure to affect the cost of your project.
