Preparing a paint product list
What information turns a vague paint enquiry into a quotable requirement.
Answer
What information should I send for a paint quotation?
Explanation
Why "20 litre paint price" is hard to answer
It does not say which product, which finish, which shade, or whether 20 litres is even the right quantity. The answer is a list of questions, which wastes a message each way.
Detail
What to send instead
Room or area · net wall area if measured · what the surface is · its condition · new work or repaint · interior or exterior · finish wanted · shade if decided · photographs of anything doubtful.

A worked example
“Interior repaint, bedroom and hall, 860 sq ft net wall area, existing surface sound, matt finish, shade undecided, primer requirement to be checked, delivery to ___.”
That can be answered in one reply.

The list does this for you
My Paint List collects measurements, estimates and products as you browse, and sends them as one structured message with a reference both sides can quote.
Questions
Also asked
Do I need to know the brand?
No. If you have a preference, say so. Otherwise options can be suggested against what you describe.
What if I have not measured yet?
Send what you have. The wall calculator and multi-room builder make measuring straightforward, but an approximate area is better than none.

Measure the walls, estimate each layer and build a paint list to send as one structured requirement.
