Hi there,

I'm relatively amateur in my experience with painting but have had some, as well as developing skills in art and design etc. I've been asked to paint 4 walls for each room of a total of 10 rooms within one building. Each room will have 1 wall dedicated for some painted art decor.
In being asked to do this, I've also been asked to come up with how much I would charge for this to be done.
I will obviously include paints, equipment, transport in the sum but I was hoping someone here could help me come up with a reasonable asking price for the completion of this project. Taking into account that I'm not a professional. Any help would be much appreciated!
Anyone?

Much thanks in advance,

JvR

10 rooms, lets say is 3 condos circa 900sf per condo (assume 3 bedrooms)
One condo $1200 labour oni
Three condos $3600 labour oni
Can quote $4000 for labour only of flat paint.
Please add on according to the painted art decor complexity. Bear in mind specialty paints like Momento or Suzuka will need extra time to do nicely.

Because you will also probably need to invest in painting tools (roller, tray, ladder, trolley to get the paints on site).
Assume that the walls are all ready to be painted and no fixing of holes/defects required.
>> Else you need to add on sander (belt for heavy duty, else a rotary also can if its just a couple rooms) - lots of dust.
>> If you sand then u need to add in at least a cheap sealer else bare cement will eat all your paint.

Assume you have a pickup truck or van to carry all the paints.

Note that the labour price excludes paint itself. Depending on how good the paint needs to be, can use cheap matex whites, or if colour is involved - starting from cheap $35 matex colours to atas paints. Paints are not cheap so you will need to get the surface area of the walls to be painted, then work backwards for costing (one 18L can cover how many sq meter and one 18L cost how much). Also consider gloss paint if you also need to do the doors/grills.

Professional or not its basically not that hard, its tiring AF.
Dilution of paints, for undercoat/first fcoat can mix more water, final coat 10% will give solid colour.
