Theoretical Coverage Rates

The following coverage rates are for estimation purposes only. To accurately determine coverage rates, apply a test application on the actual surface. Surface porosity and texture, method of application and climate conditions affect application rates:

Substrate Square Feet per Gallon
Concrete 250
Masonry 250
Metal / Steel 450
Fiberglass / GRP 400
