How much paint does it take to cover a rectanguler room that measures 15 ft by 30 ft?


Question:

Answers:
How high are the ceilings?

with 8 foot ceilings and two coats of paint:

4 gallons would do it.


depends on the paint brand and the color you are covering and the color you are using. typically you would need about 3-4 gallons for that size.

if covering dark color with light, get good brand paint.

the paint guy at home depot, lowe's will also tell you how much you need and it's also written on the paint can itself.
Assuming the walls are 8 feet hight and only one coat required, you'd need 2.5 gallons for the walls and 1.6 gallons for the ceiling.
15x30x2x8(discounting windows )=1800sq ft look on the paint can directions average coverage is usually there divide sq ft by recommended coverage will give you gallons needed
4 gallons of paint should do the job.
get a 5gal bucket. and 2 1gal pales. it would save you money and you'll have just enough( if you have 8 foot ceilings. If higher then you'll need 1 more gallon per every foot over 8 high)
