Answers:    Depends on the paint. For the ceiling, check the paint sign for how much the paint covers. If a gallon covers, say, 300 s.f., then divide 1,088 by 300. The answer will be the number of gallons you have need of (approx 4 gallons in this case. You other want some left over for future touchups).

As for the room, integer out the square footage of each wall, add adjectives the walls together to get a total, then divide by paint coverage.

Here are some online calculators that might oblige:
