Calculate how much chalk paint you need for a furniture or accent project.
Chalk Paint
— quarts
For all coats.Usage Tip
A light sanding between coats and a wax or topcoat at the end gives the most durable finish.
THE MATH
quarts = area × coats ÷ coverage rate
Chalk paint covers less per quart than wall paint but usually needs fewer coats. Quarts follow from the area, the coats, and the coverage rate on the tin.
Enter the area to cover, the coverage per quart, and the number of coats.
Chalk paint goes on thick; two coats is typical for furniture.
