What is the coverage of a 5L can?

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky after application.

Ensure even coverage. Apply a second coat, and make sure your roller or brush is loaded consistently.

The color is not as expected.

Ensure you've applied the correct number of coats. Color can vary depending on lighting and the existing color of the surface. Consider a test patch.
