Painting: measured in m2 of surface area. Rates are specified per m2 for a stated number of coats (e.g., 2 coats priming + 2 coats enamel). For cornices, bands: per running metre. For grills, railings with complex geometry: measured flat face area or as multiple of equivalent flat area. Quantity = area x rate.
