2. Buy The Right Amount Of Paint (Image 2 of 26)
Find out how much paint you’ll need the easy way. B&Q has a useful calculator. Input your room’s dimensions, the number of doors and windows and how many coats of paint you want, and it will tell you how many litres of paint you need to buy. Dulux
has a calculator for walls, or skirting, doors and window frames, as well as exterior areas. Bear in mind, the cheaper the paint, the more coats you'll need to get good coverage. Also, remember that it's always good to have a little of the colour you've chosen left over - that way, you can touch up knocks and scratches over time.
