Furniture Paint Coverage Guide

  • Complete any one of the following projects with only One 16 oz Pint:

    One average dresser
    Set of nightstands
    Bathroom vanity
    2–3 chairs
    Front door
    Coffee table
    Set of side tables
    Small console

    If you're painting with two light coats (recommended) plus touch-ups, a pint is enough for most single furniture pieces.

  • Complete any one of the following projects with only One 32 oz Quart:

    Two average dressers
    Large bookshelf
    Dining table with 4 chairs
    Coffee table + 2 end tables
    Two bathroom vanities
    Twin bed & dresser

    King/Queen headboard + nightstands
    Multiple coordinating furniture pieces

    If you’re painting something oversized or combining several pieces in one room, a quart is typically the safer choice.

How to Calculate Paint for Kitchen Cabinets
