Primer

Calculate primer by surface type

📐 How We Calculate

The primer calculator uses the following formula:

Consumption Rate:
  • Absorbent surface: 0.15 L/m²
  • Semi-absorbent surface: 0.10 L/m²
  • Non-absorbent surface: 0.07 L/m²
Primer Needed = Area × Consumption Rate × Number of Coats
10L Cans = ⌈Primer Needed / 10⌉

Surface Type: Porous surfaces absorb more primer than smooth surfaces.

Standard Cans: Primer typically comes in 10L containers.
