You: WTH, do you think I'm stupid?

While that sounds a bit high I'd be a bit wary of someone who touches that for $30-40, if it's a primer/sealer, color coat, clear coat I would expect $150-$200 for a decent price.
Maybe more.

Good painters aren't usually cheap.

Morning all, 29 degree's sunny and windy.

Take it easy on the moving and your knee Russ, easy to twist and hurt it doing that stuff.

Wife wants to go for a drive today, not sure what there is to see but i that's what she wants.
Might get lunch out of it.

That about sums it up Mick !

That side job idea would be perfect but expect good painters are like good mechanics, they have more ( friends) than they want.
