1. How do I calculate the amount of paint needed?

The basic formula is:
Liters of Paint = (Total Paintable Area ÷ Coverage per Liter per Coat) × Number of Coats.
Coverage varies by paint type:

• Distemper: ~130–150 sq. ft. per liter per coat

• Economy Emulsion: ~130–150 sq. ft. per liter per coat

• Premium Emulsion: ~140–160 sq. ft. per liter per coat

Always add 5–10% extra for wastage, touch-ups, and shade adjustments.

​

2. What factors affect the cost of painting?

Key factors include:

• Paint Type & Brand (economy vs. premium vs. luxury)

• Number of Coats required for proper coverage

• Surface Preparation (putty, primer, sanding)

• Area Size & Height (higher walls may need scaffolding)

• Labour Costs (varies by location)

• Special Finishes (texture, waterproofing, enamel for doors/windows)

​

3. How much does interior painting usually cost?

For interiors, material-only costs generally range from:

• Economy Finish: ₹12–₹20 per sq. ft.

• Premium Finish: ₹20–₹35 per sq. ft.

• Luxury Finish: ₹35+ per sq. ft.

Including labour, costs can go up by ₹8–₹15 per sq. ft., depending on location and surface condition.

​

4. Is primer necessary before painting?

Yes, primer improves adhesion, ensures uniform color, seals porous surfaces, and increases paint durability.
For new walls or walls with patches, primer is strongly recommended.

​

5. How long does a paint job last?

• Distemper: 3–4 years

• Economy Emulsion: 4–5 years

• Premium Emulsion: 6–8 years

• Luxury & Weatherproof Paints: 8–10 years (for exteriors with good maintenance)

 

6. Can I calculate labour cost separately?

Yes. A simple method:
Labour Cost = Total Paintable Area × Labour Rate per sq. ft.
In many cities, this ranges between ₹8 and ₹15 per sq. ft., varying by surface condition and type of paint.

 

7. What’s the ideal season for painting?

For interiors, painting can be done year-round in well-ventilated conditions. For exteriors, avoid monsoon; the best period is during dry, mild-weather months.

 

8. How can I save money on painting?

• Use economy paints for less prominent areas

• Paint accent walls instead of full rooms for style on a budget

• Buy paint in larger packs to reduce per-liter cost

• Plan and prepare surfaces properly to reduce wastage and touch-ups
