ESTIMATING PAINT REQUIREMENTS
 

How to estimate the quantity of paints, enamels and thinners especially on new, large surface areas:

Areas in square meter x no. of coats
______________________________ = Quantity of paints or enamels needed

coverage


Total quantity of paints in 4 liters
______________________________ = Quantity of Laquer thinner & paint thinner needed

How to estimate labor needed:

A skilled painter can brush on two (2) four liters can in a day's work (8 hrs.). This estimate includes surface preparation and application of putty for minor surface imperfections.
Hudson paint is well known to produce a wider coverage and hiding capacity. To check on this, buy a 4 liters can each of Flexicoat Latex and an equivalent competitor product from authorized dealer. Apply the two 4-liter cans on new plaster without adding any water to the latex paint. Same can be done on exterior house paints, Quick Drying Enamels, Flatwall enamels, etc. Measure the surface area covered after painting is done. After 24 hours, take a look, and you will find Hudson has more coverage area and better hiding capacity. Upon comparing for an extended period you will finally be convinced, that Hudson is the longer lasting quality paint.
