I would like to paint a wall (already white) to make a glow wall. How many square feet will each 2 ounces effectively cover? What is the best medium?

Tough to answer because it all has to do with how much glow you want. For bright glow, my guess based on past use would be two ounces for 20-25 sq ft. Another concern, even application: Don't expect an even glow; expect to see brush strokes and drips (in glow mode). The best way to minimize that is by doing several thin coats, not just one application, and to mix your batch constantly - stuff settles really fast! I use clear acrylic paint. Also, it is very bright, not suitable for a bedroom. Great fun is to stand next to your wall in the dark, turn on and off the light and see cool silhouettes.

I did 320 square feet, and had some left over. It seemed to take very little for each paver (I used a brush to thoroughly cover each one and the edges before they were laid down). The container says up to 400 square feet, and I thinks that's probably stretching it a bit. It really worked well to protect the pavers through the nasty winter we had in Pennsylvania - the pavers look like new! This product will bring out a lot of color, too.

We covered about 40 sq feet. We had enough to cover the surface twice. The Kit states that it will cover about 35 sq feet. I would buy two kits. We are very happy with the product and will use it again in the future. It has been installed and problem free for 10 months.

It totally depends on what you're covering and how many coats you spray, and how thick you apply it. I bought one can to paint an exposed metal support post in my basement, about 5 in diameter and 8 ft tall. I sprayed very light coats, allowing a few minutes tack time for eack, and went over the whole post 5 times. I used the whole can.

It depends on the concentration you mix. For the majority of the insects it calls for 1oz per gallon of water. My house is only about 1,000 sq/ft with a one car garage and it takes about 2 batches or 2 ounces to spray the foundation, eaves, windows, and doors. This includes spraying the inside of the basement along the band board. This of course is also depend on how heavy it is applied through the sprayer, ie as a mist or stream. It also says on the label how many sq/ft an ounce should cover, but as I stated above there are a few factors that go into that.

I assume you mean, "How large an area" and I think an ounce was good for about 1,000 square feet. The container I bought (5 pounds) it going to last a lifetime since my lawn area is only 8,000 square feet.

I agree with JJ Bradley. To paint a 4000 sq/ft home would be difficult with the Graco TrueCoat Pro II. I would rent or buy a unit that can draw paint from 5 Gallon buckets to do the job you are describing. You'll be amazed at how fast you can paint if the walls are prepped correctly and everything is masked. If you are constantly refilling the small paint container on the truecoat it will easily take 4-5 times longer than using a sprayer such as the Graco Magnum 262805 X7 HiBoy Cart Airless Paint Sprayer.

This product works great. I would not recommend it for severely wet areas but for damp areas yes. I would recommend doing any necessary wall repair prior to application but other than that no prep is needed. I believe it only comes in white but ask your paint store if they can mix color in it. I use it like a primer and then paint my color over it.

A pro screen may work best. I painted my wall with "Silver Screen" paint from Lowe's. Then 2-3 coats of FLAT polyurethane. Looks great. It's gray like the other poster said.

A quart will cover about 1,000 sq ft and . Make sure you shake the container. I used a small fiber cloth to apply the product. The product is a little oily, so I recommend wearing gloves. I have used this product a few times and have been very satisfied with the results. I seal my tile every couple of years. Amazon has the best price!!!!!

I did 10 letter-sized clipboards with 3 coats each and barely used any of the paint. But I don't think one can will cover the area you want to cover....you need at least 2 coats.

Each roll is a "double roll" giving you roughly 50 sq.ft. of coverage. IE... For 100 sq.ft. of wall you would need 2 double rolls. I had about 150 sq.ft. of wall space to paper so I used 3 double rolls and had just enough. It's the "repeats" in the pattern that creates waste. I believe this paper repeats every 21 inches. (check the label on the roll) The rolls are all the same pattern so by opening each roll and matching them that way will save some waste. I Hope this was helpful.

I don't remember the formula but you need to know the square footage of the walls you will be spraying (not the square footage of the house. lenght times height of each wall, then add all the walls up. I believe the website tells you how many square feet each kit will cover up to 3 inches thick.

It cover alot. I used it on my counters and I have more than half a bottle left. Approx 50 sq feet. Works great.

Small sized homes, those under 1200 square feet on the exterior should be accessible. Interiors on a wall per wall basis should be attainable. However when doing a complete home consider the source of your paint. This system only holds one quart. You will have to thin your consecutive quarts exactly...which can be impossible even if you have the correct ratios. Personally I would use a sprayer with larger paint capacity.This machine is durable but will shine best on medium to small jobs.

It covers better than they say, I did a 20' camper with 2 gallons and had a little left over, so I'd say 3 or 4 would do ya. Mix it well. It is really thick. Use a big brush to get blobs out and then spread them out with a squidgy. Don't pour it out of the can, you will get too much in one area. Get a big spatula to get the last of it out of the can. Use a small brush to paint the edges, and don't bother masking because when you pull up the tape you will break the seal. Great stuff, my roof looks great and no longer leaks.

The spackling stuff seems to be more white than my white walls, but not extremely noticeable. Worked great though. I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by "take paint"
