In this article
Calculate
1 litre = 80-120 sq ft (1 coat)。 Room 12×15 ft (walls ~500 sq ft): 2 coats = ~8-10 litres। Asian Paints Royale: ₹400-600/L। Tractor Emulsion: ₹150-250/L। Professional painter (mistri): ₹300-600/day — Indian labor very affordable。
Process
Putty (2 coats) → Primer (1 coat) → Paint (2 coats) = professional Indian wall finish. Total time: 4-5 days per room with painter。
⚡ CalcWolf Insight
Buy all paint from the same batch — different batches can have subtle color variations visible on the wall.
