My metal driveway gates need painting, they're about 125cm tall and have 12 vertical posts (1 cm sq) and a bit of a decorative curve at the top. The drive is 3m wide approx. I'm intending on using Hammerite, anyone know roughly how much paint I'll need?

There are many helpful on line tips on how to do it, but none give or suggest paint coverage. Hammerite comes in 250ml and 750ml sizes.

I did a rough and ready calc and estimated 1sq mtr. total for both gates.

OK, Hammerite say 5sq mtr/ltr.
