Now doing some math: The average size of a new family home in the US, according to Census data, is 2,299 square feet You typically need to buy one gallon of paint per 400 square feet. That means the average, newly build US home needs 5.7475 gallons of paint. Assuming that every house is built to match the previously mentioned specifications, the giant paint bucket has the capacity to paint an estimated 30,970 homes!!! |
