Having bought 2 gallons of paint to paint the interior of my shed, I found that the first gallon did not cover at all. Start with the second gallon, and it covered just fine thinking it was a bad first gallon I purchased a 5 gallon bucket and found that I was having the same issue and the paint does not cover at all. Do not use Valparaiso paint !!!! User's recommendation: If you value your time never use Valparaiso paint.
