I have over three years painting experience, but I have always been on the other end of the equation so to speak. I have never actually dealt with bidding jobs or closing sales. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Steve

Did you work for a painting contractor? What kind of experience do you have painting?

yeah so, do you count the time it takes for the first coat to dry? Going by manufacturer recoat time alone, you couldn't do this in two hours. This don't add up.
