What is Plastic Paint Coverage Area?

The plastic paint coverage area depends on the type of paint. Plastic paint usually covers around 250–270 sq. ft. per litre with a single coat and 130–150 sq. ft. per litre with two coats. This may further vary based on surface conditions, preparation, and application method.

How Much Plastic Paint is Required for 100 sq ft?

If you're planning to paint a 100 sq. ft area, here's how much plastic paint you'll need:

• For a single coat, you'll use about 0.4 litres, as plastic paint generally covers 250–270 sq. ft per litre. 

• If you're going for two coats, which I recommend for a better finish, you'll need around 0.7 to 0.8 litres since two coats cover about 130–150 sq. ft. per litre. 

Now the factors that affect plastic paint coverage are:

• Surface Condition: Smooth surfaces use less paint, while rough ones soak up more.

• Surface Preparation: Properly primed and cleaned surfaces help paint spread evenly.

• Application Method: Rolling, brushing, or spraying can each affect coverage differently.

• Number of Coats: More coats mean more paint, especially for a durable finish.

It is thus better that you consult with a painter to get an exact estimate of the required amount of paint for your walls.

The paint's spreading rate and the quantity of paint required to cover an area completely are the two factors that determine the plastic paint coverage area. The spreading rate refers to how efficiently the paint spreads during application. Last year, when I was painting my house, I bought plastic paint and can share its approximate coverage area based on my experience.
