How paint amounts are calculated in Paint Pals
How Paint Pals works out the gallons for each item: what a gallon of the paint covers, how thirsty the surface is, how much less paint each extra coat takes, and how trim, doors, railings, door frames and windows turn into a painted area. Where to change each number is shown along the way.
