What size do you need? We can special order gallons for large projects and have most other sizes in stock (if available from Jolie)!!

 

Not sure how much paint you need for your next project? We’ve got you covered!

You can use this simple calculation to help you determine exactly what size of Jolie Paint you should order: 

Square Footage of Project × Coats of Paint = TOTAL COVERAGE NEEDED

After you’ve taken your measurements and determined the total coverage needed, use the following formulas to determine how many samples, quarts or gallons of Jolie Paint you will need:

Total Coverage Needed ÷ 18.8 sq. ft. (or 13.9 sq. m.) ≈ NUMBER OF 4oz SAMPLES NEEDED

Total Coverage Needed ÷ 75 sq. ft. (or 7 sq. m.) ≈ NUMBER OF PINTS OF PAINT NEEDED

Total Coverage Needed ÷ 150 sq. ft. (or 13.9 sq. m.) ≈ NUMBER OF QUARTS OF PAINT NEEDED

Total Coverage Needed ÷ 600 sq. ft. (or 55 sq. m.) ≈ NUMBER OF GALLONS OF PAINT NEEDED

Don’t forget to factor in that you will likely apply 2-3 coats of paint over your surface (unless you are doing a washed finish where one coat is sufficient), so you’ll want to include this in your calculations. Actual paint coverage may vary depending on color. surface, and application.
