Paint price (RM/litre)

How it works

One litre of emulsion covers roughly 90–130 sq ft per coat (we use ~110). Most walls need two coats, plus primer on bare or patched surfaces. This estimates paint only — labour is separate. See full pricing in our painting cost guide → and paint types guide →.

Indicative — coverage varies by surface and paint.

FAQ

Common Questions

How much paint do I need?

About one litre per 110 sq ft of wall per coat. For two coats, divide your wall area by 110 and multiply by 2. This calculator does it for you and estimates cost.

How do I estimate wall area?

A quick rule for a typical room is floor area times about 3. For accuracy, measure each wall (length times height) and add them, subtracting large windows and doors.

How many coats of paint do I need?

Usually one primer coat plus two topcoats for an even, durable finish. Dark or strong colours may need an extra coat.

Does this include labour?

No — it estimates paint quantity and material cost only. See our painting cost guide for labour and full per-room pricing.
