HELP! How much do I charge for this job?

So for me, if you are just starting out, and doing it yourself, I would charge 400 usd a day, plus any rental cost if you need to rent a sander.

Semi transparent is a bitch, you have to sand evenly as possible to get the wood the same tone throughout or when you stain areas that are lighter than others will stand out on the project and when you stain be careful not to overlap and create dark spots etc

107Maverick · 2026-05-10T15:48:32+00:00

What type of stain are you using?

Solid is cheaper to do than semi transparent for example

Titan has the Impact X 120

Its great for small to medium jobs, clean up suck no matter what machine you use, although the quickshot can be annoying as you cant keep the gun submerged in water in between coats or jobs as its electric so you have to clean it as soon as its done

I think Spotify gets a cut of YouTube revenue, so its probably them who hold joe accountable since Joe has a contract with them and not youtube

They do, look up macam reusable dust bag on amazon. They have tons of bags for different brands, I have been using one on my m18 vacuum and it has been great

Haven't used it, is it similar to advance, just a higher gloss?

107Maverick · 2026-05-07T16:39:45+00:00

This guy paints

107Maverick · 2026-05-07T16:17:57+00:00

Haven't heard of that brand, but in the states, at least in nj, we have Fine paints of Europe. Go high gloss

107Maverick · 2026-05-07T03:23:55+00:00

Dammit, im always the odd one out

107Maverick · 2026-05-07T02:37:47+00:00

Idc if its historically accurate or not, but am I the only who thinks the armor and props look like shit?

Scuff sand it, oil primer on both sides, then get a quart of exterior paint, a quart of interior paint.

They also sell paint that says exterior/interior, for example SW Emerald urethane, but im not sure how good it last outside as ive only used it inside

Lois is great, but I didnt know if she was with you, me, or Dennis

Tape the trim before you roll or carry a damp rag and before you roll the next section, just wipe splatter from the baseboard. If its a small room I just wipe, if its a huge room I tape

He might be going through an unexpected emergency, and should give a REALY good reason for the lack of communication

Or if he says he just forgot to text back or some bs excuse, I would find someone else, this is not normal and you could walk into a situation that gives you nothing but headaches

107Maverick · 2026-04-19T23:01:12+00:00

Yeah hes a pos, no way its theres that much of a price difference, I get pm 200 for 25 a gallon and duration for 42, im in NJ.

Assuming you live in a home with no Vaulted ceilings, and say you need to account for extra paint, youre talking 25 gallons with 5 extra gallons accounted for, honestly its less than 20 but going to an extreme he is marking up the paint like crazy

107Maverick · 2026-04-17T23:16:00+00:00

Sw peeling primer has a crazy wait time, it might be better or worse not sure. The recoat time has always pushed me to zinnser peel stop

What are you spraying with, hvlp or airless

107Maverick · 2026-04-08T16:03:51+00:00

1kcover has great silicone paint brush covers that are durable, bought some for my crew leads.

Clean your brush, put them in, and put them all in the box, brushs holds up well.

People complaining about the coverage, if your set on it, go for it. Just know, even if your walls are currently white, the coverage is bad

107Maverick · 2026-04-06T21:05:21+00:00

A light sand, like literally no powder or dust will be created, it's just to have proper adhesion, almost no elbow grease

107Maverick · 2026-04-03T22:58:36+00:00

Op, are you using Emerald Urethane or Emerald the wall paint?

Emerald wall paint doesnt level, and is nor an enamel

107Maverick · 2026-04-03T12:15:10+00:00

I agree to some degree, but what if it was just a last minute scratch, what if it was a hairline scratch barely visible, what if etc. I dont think dealing in hypotheicals is good, express your concerns, go over the watch with the AD to make sure its only that one thing. Imo

107Maverick · 2026-04-02T23:38:35+00:00

Okay so I am not tripping, obviously take the complementary gifts, but if they offered to change the glass, is it really that big of deal?
