    The document provides an example of estimating the amount of paint required for masonry and wood surfaces. It gives the area of each surface and coverage rates for primer and top coats. It then calculates the number of liters of each paint type needed and expresses the quantities in 4 liter and 16 liter cans.

    ESTIMATING WALL FINISHES:

    Sample Problem
    The computed area and the number of coats and coverage of paint to be used for painting jobs are as follows:

    Area of masonry surfaces: 750 square meters


    Primer coat to be used: 1 coat with coverage of 30 sq.m. per 4 liters.
    Top coat to be used: 1 coat with coverage of 40 sq.m. per 4 liters.

    Area of wood surfaces: 900 square meters


    Primer coat to be used: 1 coat with coverage of 25 sq.m. per 4 liters.
    Top coat to be used: 1 coat with coverage of 35 sq.m. per 4 liters.

    Solution:
    Paints required for masonry surfaces:

    a. Convert the coverage of the primer coat to its equivalent rate per liter.

    Coverage per liter = 30 sq.m / 4 li


    Coverage per liter = 7.5 sq.m / li.

    Primer required = 750 sq.m / 7.5 sq.m / li.


    Primer required = 100 Liters

    b. Convert the coverage of the top coat to its equivalent rate per liter.

    Coverage per liter = 40 sq.m / 4 li


    Coverage per liter = 10 sq.m / li.

    Primer required = 750 sq.m / 10 sq.m / li.


    Topcoat required = 75 Liters

    Paints required for wood surfaces:

    a. Convert the coverage of the primer coat to its equivalent rate per liter.

    Coverage per liter = 25 sq.m / 4 li


    Coverage per liter = 6.25 sq.m / li.

    Primer required = 900 sq.m / 6.25 sq.m / li.


    Primer required = 144 Liters

    b. Convert the coverage of the top coat to its equivalent rate per liter.

    Coverage per liter = 35 sq.m / 4 li


    Coverage per liter = 8.75 sq.m / li.

    Primer required = 900 sq.m / 8.75 sq.m / li.


    Topcoat required = 102.9 Liters
    Topcoat required = 103 Liters
    Translating the quantities of paint into 4-liter cans:

    a. Masonry Primer = 100 li / 4 li. per can


    = 25 cans

    Masonry Topcoat = 75 li / 4 li. per can


    = 19 cans

    b. Wood primer = 144 li / 4 li. per can


    = 36 cans

    Wood Topcoat = 103 li / 4 li. per can


    = 26 cans

    Translating the quantities of paint into 16 -liter cans:

    a. Masonry Primer = 100 li / 16 li. per can


    = 6.3 cans
    = 6 cans at 16 liters plus 1 can at 4 liters

    Masonry Topcoat = 75 li / 16 li. per can


    = 4.7 cans
    = 4 cans at 16 liters plus 3 can at 4 liters

    b. Wood primer = 144 li / 16 li. per can


    = 9 cans

    Wood Topcoat = 103 li / 16 li. per can


    = 6.4 cans
    = 6 cans at 16 liters plus 2 can at 4 liters
