Depends on what kind of paint he uses

1 gallon of striping paint from Sherwin-Williams covers about 224 ft^2

so how many gallons needed?

256/224=1.4128

answer is 1.4128 gallons of sherwin-williams striping paint

16.

an area of 64 square feet of wall would need 4 pints of paint. 256 divided by 64 is 4. so you would do 4 times the amount of pints needed for 64 square feet.

4 x 4 = 16
