This is Turtle.
Yes First I should have Googled it but i too Lazy.
I have a camp up on the lake that i'm fixing up to try to use it again.
All of
the interoir is in good shape but needs painting , cleaning, and some
sheetrocking work. My Friend and i are going to paint it ourself and i
really
need the amount of paint to get first to start out painting the inside and
out.
So here is the question i need to know about painting it.
1] 1/2 of the inside walls are Pannling installed in 1948 and there has
been
nothing put on the walls since that time and the panneling looks like it
has
nothing on it for it has wore off. the Panneling is installed over Solid
Cypress
Wood wall. What Kind of Paint do you put on this Panneling to get the
paint to
stick to it ? i was told sand it or ruff it up , kile stuff -- it , then
paint
it. How do i paint this area ?
2] 1/2 of the other inside walls is solid Cypress Walls. I'm going to
paint it
white with paint but I'm going to lay Sheet Rock over the wood walls ,
first to
level the walls & cover up the cracks that you can see through to the
outside
and then paint it white. So 1/2 of the inside walls will be painting sheet
rock
from scratch. i have been told primer white and then paint white paint. So
how
to paint this ?
3] Painting the outside walls of the Camp. the ouitside walls is Tung
and
Grove Cypress boards all around the 4 sides. the camp is off the ground
with
concrete & Cynder block supports about 6 feet , due to high water at times
in
the Swamp lake it is on. i'm going to water blast the outside walls with
3,200
psi sprayer at a 5 gallon per minute rate and let dry and paint. The water
blaster will take all the paint off the cypress boards and will be
startinmg
from scratch to paint the cypress boards. i was told prime it and paint
it. How
do i paint this thing as type paint , primer, and number of coats as need
be ?
Details of the camp. inside heating and cooling space 1,320 sq. ft. of
floor
area or interoir 44 feet X 30 feet. The camp is broke up in 1 bed room
area ,
Bath Room, and main area. The wood Floor area and wood ceiling area put
together
get it to 2,640 sf. feet of paintiable area. The 4 walls if the inside of
the
camp is 1,184 sq. ft. of area space. The interior walls to be painted and
adding
both sides is 320 sq. ft. of area or paintiable area. Now outside walls to
be
painted is 1,235 sq. ft. of paintiable area.
So the Outside paintiable area is wood with no paint on the cypress tung
and
grove wall and paintiable area of 1,235 sq. ft. and the interior is about
4,144
sq. ft. of paintiable area.
I'm going to buy the paint in 5 gallon buckets or 1 gallon if need be and
everything is going to be white and the name of the camp is going to be
called
Turtle's White House or just White house [ it use to be painted Red /
White /
Blue ] and will roll on all the paint but do the trim with a brush. The
people
painting will surely not know what they are doing for here is their jobs
in life
and nothing to do with painting. School maintainance Superentendet , City
Chief
of Police, HVAC contractor, Pulp Wood cutter, a Grave Digger, and one
unemployeed brother in law who would come work for 2 case of Bud & a
carton of
Cigerettes.
Read # 1 #2 #3 and advise way and how much paint needed. OR just advise on
how
and give me a ruff ideal of sq. ft. per gallon of paint by rolling it and
i will
figure it. The reason for needing to know how much paint is it's 40 miles
round
trip to any supply stores to get anything we need.
You can E-Mail or Post here !

I would get out my airless, an older Campbell hausfield. I would figure on
the primer coat no more than 250 sq feet per gallon. After that may be 300
sq ft per gallon.
If your planning on using rollers, then maybe a little less per square foot.
Problem would be with a roller is the Cyprus. It could be a bear to get it
to cover. Airless would be what I would use. To bad I am so far away, I
would blow the interior and exterior for some bbq and beer.
This is Turtle.
The Figures of the square foot age verses the gallon of paint was what i needed.
Thank you there.
************************************************** ************************If i'm
going to paint over this old panneling -- Do you use something like a Kile
Primer stuff or what ? OR Can you just prime it and paint it ?
************************************************** ***
Now the bunch is coming up there will get all the Cokes & beer they can drink
and we are going to BBQ a bunch Chicken, Sausage, Pork ButterFly Loin , and 2
Rabbits. Also Bake Bean, Potato Salad, French Bread, and Fried Okra .
We have one fellow with a Spray gun but we was going to keep his ass outside for
we painted another friends camp and him a using that spray gun inside and he
like to have kill us all with the paint vapors in the air for he would stand
back 10 feet from the wall and shoot it. We had to make him go outside to paint
before he kill us all.
Thank you here !
