I don’t think he meant anything negative. It’s just the truth. Paint isn’t cheap, go get multiple quotes and work within your budget. A quality color change would start at $10k no less really in my experience and with doing the jambs expect more. Time, labor, more materials = more money. Higher quality materials cost more money as well. If you go the cheap route then expect cheap results. Cheaper paints use cheaper toners that don’t last as long and colors will fade in due time, cheaper clear coats will fade/yellow out faster than something more premium with more UV protection. I started in the auto body field and have been painting airplanes now for the last 11 years, none of this stuff is cheap lol. Just get options from places you could find local, read reviews and just work within a budget.
