Buy right
We estimate that 30% of people have leftover paint because they bought too much. One easy way you can help reduce the amount of leftover paint, is to prevent over-purchase by buying the right amount. Although calculating this is not an exact science, many paint companies provide their own guidance for how much paint is required. If you know which paint you’re using, click on the links below to access individual paint company calculators/guidance.
