Paint Cost Per Square Foot


1. Obtain volume solids % figure from the specification section of the datasheets corresponding to the product you are interested in. You will use that number with the chart to calculate the cost per square foot.
2. Round the price per gallon within the nearest .50¢ to enable you to match a figure on the chart.
3. Read down the left hand column to find your price per gallon from step 2.
4. Go back p to the top of the chart and read across to the right and use the figure you found in the data sheets from step 1 and round it to the nearest Volume Solids % figure listed at the top of the chart.
5. Where these 2 coordinates intersect within the chart is the price where PER ONE MIL OF DRY FILM THICKNESS is expressed in cents.
6. Multiply this figures times the number of dry mils required for a project to calculate total cost per square foot of materials.
7. Then you can multiply this figure by the total square foot of your project to estimate your total cost of materials.
