Tips & Notes

  • One gallon covers roughly 350–400 sq ft of smooth walls; 300 sq ft for textured.
  • Always prime new drywall or when making a dramatic color change.
  • Satin or eggshell finish is most practical for walls — easier to clean than flat.
  • Ceilings typically need flat/matte finish paint; most brands have a dedicated ceiling formula.
  • Buy 10% extra — it's nearly impossible to match a batch later if you run short.
