Worked out from 1 + waste_percent/100 and 4 other sources.
Coverage rates are published per product and vary with surface porosity, texture and application method; buy from a measured take-off and keep a tin in reserve for touch-ups.

How this is worked out

2 steps
  1. Paint = 0 m2 x 1 coat(s) / 8 m2 per litre x (1 + 10/100) = 0 L
  2. 5 L x 8 m2/L / 1 coat(s) / 1.1 = 36.36363636363636 m2
