How the Chennai paint calculator works
The Suppliable Paint Calculator estimates how many litres of paint you need for any room or whole-house painting job in Chennai, then multiplies by today's live Asian Paints Chennai dealer price from our catalogue. We use Asian Paints Tractor Emulsion for interior walls and Asian Paints Ace Exterior Emulsion for exterior walls — these are the two most-used paints in Chennai residential work.
Standard coverage rate is 120 sqft per litre per coat. For new walls with primer, we apply 2 coats of putty + 1 coat of primer + 2 coats of paint. For repaint, typically just 2 coats of paint. The calculator handles both flows.
Typical Chennai paint estimates
- 1 BHK (600 sqft): 18-22 L interior + 12-15 L exterior
- 2 BHK (1,000-1,200 sqft): 30-38 L interior + 20-25 L exterior
- 3 BHK (1,500-1,800 sqft): 45-55 L interior + 30-38 L exterior
- Independent house (2,000+ sqft): depends on storeys — calculator handles multi-floor

Why Ace for Chennai exteriors
Chennai's exterior paint takes a beating — UV in summer, salt-laden monsoon humidity, and 800-1200 mm of rain in October-November. Asian Paints Ace Exterior Emulsion is the most common choice for G+0 / G+1 Chennai homes because it costs less than Apex Ultima but lasts 5-6 years on Chennai walls (vs 2-3 years for cheaper acrylic distempers). For higher-end builds or coastal sites east of OMR, upgrade to Apex Ultima — the calculator's variant picker handles both.
