Gene,

The attached link (see April 1) seems to indicate that the average would be 400 Sq. Ft.



It is a student papge and I can't vouch for its reliability



A very interesting web search question...



Regards,

Damn! how many layers of paint would that be?

I would guestimate less than 200 sq. ft.
