how many coats?

then: how many litres do I need

Divide your total paint coverage by the square metre per litre of the paint finish to find out how many litres of paint you need. Most paint finishes are available in 1L, 2.5L and 5L.

LIMEWASH PAINTBRUSHES – $100 odd dollars from bauwerk.

DALRAY MATHS
>>Typical coverage of Dalray paint is 7.5㎡ per litre, based on 2 coats of paint.
When our full sized product is mixed with 3L of water, it forms approximately 4 litres of limewash paint which is enough to cover about 30㎡ of primed wall with two coats. In other words, our 1.6kg product should be enough paint to cover an average sized bedroom (approximately).
Coverage for brick and render will be lower due to the porosity and absorbancy of those surfaces.

so measure wall height x length = x square meters then divide that by 7.5 square meter = x amount of litres of dalray paint for 2 coats.

cost per 4 litres: $90

BAUWERK MATHS
Generally, as a rule of thumb, 1 litre will cover around 6m² for two coats.
1 litre = $49.50 – for plaster surface = 6m sq
5 litres = $205 – for plaster surface = 30m sq
10 litres = $330 – for plaster surface =60m sq
20 litres = $495 – for plaster surface = 120m sq
