Paint System Builder Guide
Number of Coats
Entering Coats information is easy as we have provided a generic, to the point, item list that can be adjusted to your liking per system created. Keep in mind that the intent of this application is to help painters generate accurate unit prices. This application allows for the choosing of up to 4 coats.
Start by choosing an appropriate item from Select an Option. The result of your choice will populate all fields for you and will also immediately display net unit prices, provided that you have entered your System Information and Takeoff Information.
The items populate the fields with information that is relative to typical substrates, but the Item $, Coverage Per Gallon, Prod Rate Per Day and Prod Rate % fields may be changed to reflect different situations. Perhaps your walls are 14′ tall. Or maybe your wall isn’t really a wall but is more like a window sill or header. No matter what the item is, how tall, small, difficult, you can easily price it correctly.
Please consult all of our charts for information that will fine tune your takeoff requirements.
