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.
Repeat for each wall, and then add the numbers together to get the total square footage of wall space. A gallon of paint will typically cover 300 to 400 square feet and prices range from $20 to $50 per gallon at the time of publication. A typical 10-by-10 room has 320 square feet of wall space, so you'd need 1 or 2 gallons of paint -- costing $40 to $100. Painting Supplies.
