How many gallons of paint do you think I should get? Its 2 1/2 inch casing and 3 1/2 baseboard. Would a 5 gallon bucket be enough?

4 - doors
Baseboard for the bahtroom, laundry, family room, and bedroom
Balusters

How many linear feet of trim?

 

[Gymschu]

You WON'T need 5 gallons to paint the trim and doors. 2 gallons should be more than enough to do 2 coats on all the trim and doors. You might go through 5 gallons for the walls. I guess it all depends on if you're talking about new construction (bare wood, drywall) or previously painted surfaces.

210' baseboard
150' casing

Quick estimates

Trim takes time, but it uses barely any paint! Get 2 gallons and you might bring one back.

It's easier to figure out than you think. Let's assume average 3" wide trim. That's 1/4 foot. You've got 360 feet, 1/4 of that is 90 square feet. 1 gallon covers about 300 square feet. Double it for doing 2 coats, add in your square footage for your doors.
