To calculate how much exterior paint do I need for a 1 500 square foot house, you must know that one litre of paint covers 8 square meters, approximately (about 86 square feet). So at first, convert the area to square meters and then divide the paintable area by the coverage and you will get your answer. You can refer to the example I am citing next.
How Much Paint for 1500 Square Foot House will be Required?
To find out the amount of exterior paint needed for a 1,500 square foot house,
First, convert the area to square meters: 1,500 sq ft ÷ 10.76 = 139.35 sq m.
If you assume the average 1-litre paint coverage is 8–10 square meters,
for one coat, you will need approximately 14 to 17.5 litres of paint (139.35 ÷ 10 = 14 litres; 139.35 ÷ 8 = 17.5 litres).
Now if you use two coats, the paint amount will be double. You can follow this formula to get an estimate but let me also share the factors that affect the paint amount:
Number of coats you want to apply
Quality of paint
Surface where you are planning to paint
Whether you have applied primer or not and others
You should consult with a painter to find the paint amount more precisely.
