DIY Projects - Paint coverage and

drying times
How much paint will I need? This is a common question whether you're thinking
about changing a colour scheme or simply giving a room a new lease of life.
These figures are a guide to the amount of paint needed on a normally absorbent
surface. Very absorbent surfaces or heavy tetures may require more. !hanging the
colour may also require more than one coat.
