One gallon of paint typically covers 350 square feet. However, a gallon of primer usually only covers about 200 square feet. The exact amount needed depends on brand, paint type, the surface and the application method.
2. Estimate the amount of paint, with a gallon of primer, or base paint, covering 330 square feet and a gallon of other paint providing coverage up to 350 square feet. 1  The composition of base paint is different, which is why it covers fewer square feet per gallon. 2  Paint costs can range from $15 to $60 per gallon.
