Paint Equations
From the Resene paint and decorating problem solver
To use the online calculators, click on the calculator icons to input the numbers into the equations. For some items, there is a swap option to reverse the calculation - i.e. "Converting ft/s to m/s" becomes "Converting m/s to ft/s" if you click on the swap button. Results are rounded.
