How to calculate the litres of paint required for a structural job?

Every manufacturer has specifications regarding coverage of paint for every litre. That is area covered per unit volume of the paint. Based on this you can calculate the quantity of paint required.


Also the surface area for every cross section is available in the steel tables. So based on this you can calculate the total area to be covered and total requirement of paint.How to calculate the litres of paint required for a structural job?
Just try to estimate the surface area reqd.to be painted %26amp; multiply the same with litre per sq.ft.You will get the desired qty.The litre/sqft. is the coverage given by the paint co.It is very important thing,where common man doesn't understand %26amp; buys a cheaper paint %26amp; ultimately end up loosing in coverage ie litre p.sq.ft.I had done a study %26amp; found to be the Asian Paints,the best for covering max.surface area p.litre with a little highe price comparatively.How to calculate the litres of paint required for a structural job?
well its quit simple. just take out the surface area of the job u want to paint and take out the per meter square requirement of the paint depending on the the type of colour and no. of coats you want to apply
