How much paint do I need?Updated 9 months ago

First, you need to decide on the area you want to paint and measure it (height x width). 

You then need to check the spread/coverage rate (per square metre) of your chosen paint, this will be on our product page or on the back of the can. 

Divide your surface area by the spread rate, bear in mind that most surfaces require two coats of paint.

Use our handy calculator online to make this process easier:
