Question 1

How much paint do I need for my walls?

Accepted Answer

It depends on wall area and number of coats — most interior paints cover roughly 100-120 sqft per litre per coat. Use the calculator above with your wall area and coat count for an estimate.

Question 2

Do I need putty and primer before painting?

Accepted Answer

Yes — putty fills surface imperfections and primer helps paint adhere evenly and reduces the number of paint coats needed. Both are typically applied once, regardless of how many paint coats follow.
