Add all the walls together and the total surface area of the garage to be painted is 672 square feet. If the paint chosen covers 400 square feet, for example, the project would use most of two gallons. Most paints list an expected coverage per gallon; this is an estimate.
Herein, how much does it cost to paint a two car garage?
A 250-square-foot, one-car garage typically costs $750 to $3,000 to epoxy. A two-car garage will average 400 to 500 square feet and cost between $1,200 and $6,000.
Similarly, how much paint do I need for a one car garage?
Each 5-gallon bucket contains approximately 2,000 square feet of paint. Two coats is most common, however, if you are painting the same color you might get away with one. I would purchase enough paint to create one good coat. If you need more, use the four-hour dry-time between coats to purchase additional gallons.
One gallon can of paint will cover up to 400 square feet, which is enough to cover a small room like a bathroom.
