Painting Plywood Need some help

[francoischoquette]

You forgot the ceiling :

40x24 = 960 sq.ft.

1536 + 960 = 2496 sq.ft.

Longshot was right...

Thanks for the input and compliment on the size. The actual size of the whole shop is 40X56 but my actual shop "shop" is the dimensions above. The rest is just personal storage. I own a motorcycle repair shop and this is my new shop. Thanks, Iowa883

In addition to the excellent advice you've gotten from others, I use a sanding sealer, especially on non-veneered plywood, before priming. This will raise the loose grain, which you then lightly sand off before priming. It makes for a smoother and more consistent finish and one that requires less paint.
