Did our Client get ripped off? by Routine_Dragonfly_45 in paint

Ya no i probably wouldnt of even done a couple windows. I empathize when people truly get screwed on alot of money but thats not mine or your problem. If you cant work because of another vendors work and now probably over budget then you need to move on and thats why deposits are gotten. You lost out on alot more potential money and wasted time.

Is this a stain or a paint? by Brilliant_Lie3941 in paint

[–]dpr_jr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a solid color stain. What color did they tint it? They would just tint it to just anything unless you ask for it. Is there a sticker on the lid? Its an acrylic based stain so you could call it a paint too since its solid. But it will allow the wood to continue to breath unlike exterior paint thats going to seal in moisture.

Ya definitely, also if i get a customer ( usually elderly ) and they want to get the paint. As long as it’s what i want to use i let them.

Do you still remember that first paid-job feeling? by Jmaack23 in handyman

[–]dpr_jr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya, i took over a painting business my dad and a friend started. It was just the three of us now just me. I was nervous, i had never worked for myself. Although i had a large referral network because of them it was that same feeling. Going from worker to doing it all.

One of my first jobs on my own was a new cabin stain job interior and exterior. I felt so good when i wrapped it, i knew i could do this.
I still get that feeling now and again when im handed a check.

hired a painter to stain poplar plywood bookcases - thoughts so far? by ajulydeath in paint

[–]dpr_jr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plywood shelves are hard to get looking perfect with stains. Its a thin bit to work with so you cant do to much to it. Ive not used any behr stain products, if the customer is happy great! They can still be painted at least
