Buy the right amount of paint. Before buying paint, calculate the area to be painted (h x w= square footage). One gallon covers roughly 400 square feet, and many areas will need two coats. Store remaining paint for touch-up, labeled, above freezing temperatures.
Use water-based products. Latex, or water-based, paints are preferable to oil-based paints because they do not use solvents as a carrier and do not require the use of solvents for clean-up.
