HOW TO ESTIMATE PAINT?

FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED
SPACE – AREA OF THE STRUCTURE
COVERAGE – 30 SQUARE METER PER
GALLON/ 4
LITER CAN
NUMBER OF COATS – THREE COATS
 APPLICATION
1. A SHED TYPE OF ROOF WHOSE DIMENSION IS 12.00 M. WIDE BY 20.00 M LONG.
SOLUTION:
FIND THE AREA: FIND THE TOTAL QUANTITY OF PAINT:
A=WX L QUANTITY OBTAINED X NO. COATS
= 12.00 M. X 20.00 M 8 GALLON X 3 COATS = 24 GALLONS
= 240.00 SQ. M. FIND THE ACTUAL QUANTITY OF PAINT:
FIND THE QUANTITY IN GALLON: TQP X ALLOWANCE
AREA OBTAINED ÷ COVERAGE 24 GALLONS X 10%
= 240.00 SQ. M. ÷ 30.00 SQ. M. PER GALLON = 2.4 GALLONS
= 8 GALLON THEREFORE:
24 GAL + 2.4 GAL = 26.4 GALLONS
 ACTIVITY
CALCULATE PAINT ESTIMATE FOLLOWING THE NECESSARY FACTORS BEING CONSIDERED.
1. A COMMERCIAL BUILDING HAVING 4 DOORS AND A 4 CEILING BLOCK INSIDE WHOSE
DIMENSION IS
3.00 M. BY 4.00 M.
2. A FIRE WALL OF A GASOLINE STATION WITH THE FOLLOWING SPECIFICATIONS:
> 10.00 M HIGH BY 40.00 M. LONG
> WITH EXIT GATE ( 1.00 M. BY 2.10 M.)

NOTE: USE SHORT SIZE BOND PAPER.
