When you’re looking at buying furniture paint, it can be difficult to know how much you need. After all, there are so many colors and types of paint out there that it can be hard to know what kind of coverage you’ll get from each one.
That’s why we’ve created this handy guide for you! It will tell you exactly how much furniture paint will be needed for your project, as well as give you tips on how to maximize the amount of money you spend on your project. But first, let’s talk about the different types of furniture paints out there!
Paint is typically sold by the quart (1-quart), half-gallon (2-quarts), or gallon (4 quarts). The most common size is the quart, which works well for small jobs like painting a chair or two. Half-gallon containers are usually sufficient for smaller projects like an end table or desk, while gallon containers are best suited for larger items like bookcases or beds.
However, if you want to use more than one color on a given piece of furniture—or even just two different shades within one color family—you may find yourself needing more paint than what comes in a single container! You may also find yourself in need of a color that’s not sold in quarts or gallons. In this case, you can buy it by the pint (a little over 16 fluid ounces), which will typically cost about $4-5 per pint.
