Paint Can Breakdown

How We Calculate Paint Requirements

Step 1: Wall Area Calculation

We calculate the wall area by multiplying Length × Height: 10 × 10 = 100 sq ft

Total Wall Area = 100 sq ft

Step 2: Paintable Area

We subtract the area of doors and windows from the total wall area to get the actual paintable area.

Paintable Area = 100 - 0 = 100 sq ft

Step 3: Paint Calculation

Paint required = (Paintable Area × Number of Coats) ÷ Paint Coverage per liter

Paint Required = (100 × 2) ÷ 120 = 1.67 L

Step 4: Can Optimization

We optimize the paint can combination to minimize waste and cost using 10L, 4L, and 1L cans.

  • 10L Cans: 0 cans = 0L
  • 4L Cans: 0 cans = 0L
  • 1L Cans: 2 cans = 2L

Key Assumptions

  • • Default paint coverage: 120 sq ft per liter
  • • Average paint cost: ₹400 per liter
  • • Standard door: ~21 sq ft (7' × 3')
  • • Standard window: ~15 sq ft (5' × 3')
  • • Premium paints may have higher coverage

Pro Tips

Paint Selection:

  • • Premium paints offer better coverage
  • • Consider primer for new walls
  • • Dark colors may need extra coats
  • • Buy 5-10% extra paint for touch-ups

Application Tips:

  • • Use proper primer on new surfaces
  • • Allow adequate drying time between coats
  • • Use quality brushes and rollers
  • • Apply thin, even coats
