    About how many gallons of paint it would take to paint a 1,500 sq ft house inside and out? Assuming I wanted it done real nice like?

    And how much should I pay somebody for doing something like that?

    1 gallon to about 350 square feet...a little more if you're painting drywall as it tends to soak in more...and thats just the first coat...id say...eh...8-10 gallons to be safe...maybe more...and if you're gonna pay someone who's good...they're gonna want $$$...
