- The paint estimate deducts 21 square feet per door and 15 per window, and compares single gallons with a five-gallon bucket.
Field notes
The paint guide gives its estimation formula and walks through a 12-by-12-foot bedroom: after deductions, two coats over 333 square feet require about 1.9 gallons at 350 square feet per gallon. It also explains when primer may be needed and suggests lowering the coverage rate for textured walls. The page lists supply links and states that qualifying purchases may earn it a commission.
