You do not need to add a layer for paint to calculate it's area,

1. Using Quantities Schedule you can calculate based on the wall area and/or use a calculated value parameter 
   • 
2. Using Material Take Off schedule you can add the Parameter "Material: As Paint" and use that to filter the schedule (Below Screencast)
3. Or if you are using Parts, you can apply the same principle as item 2 above
