A 12 × 10 ft room with 8 ft walls has 352 sq ft of wall; after one door and two windows, 301 sq ft remains. Two coats at 350 sq ft per gallon need 1.72 gallons (6.51 liters) — buy 2 gallons.

Net area = 2(L + W) × H − (doors × 21 + windows × 15); Gallons = Net area × coats ÷ 350 · Powered by CalcHub — Paint Calculator
