Can’t get parts for nothing. I tell people now… No time on estimated completion or materials price. When they are in my hands, I’ll let you know when I can have job completed and final price. The prices of paint is freakin insane. Owner came out to me with a slip of a gallon of k38 I ordered the other day $339 for the primer $137 activator our cost. $476 bucks for primer that half gets sanded off and ends up on the floor.

Maybe not the 2009 levels but, people are going to take it in the shorts. I can’t complain too much because we just sold our second house in two years and both were cash offers way over asking. We just picked up a small home to get settled back up north and paid dearly for it but, we are liquid as fuck and I can rent that house out when it goes bust while I scoop shit up on the cheap. I got hosed really bad on the last downturn….I’m ready for this next one. I think so to and the ones that are set up good will make some good money just like the last go around.

Paint is like coldwar said 3-400+ for a pint. This is all PPG and DuPont stuff. You can get pint of cheap shit that doesn’t match like Omni for 50-100 pint.

I got hosed really bad on the last downturn….I’m ready for this next one. I made out pretty well on the last downturn because I had cash to spend. And right now I am probably in about the same situation and hope to do the same as last time. Hell, if I didn't have such good renters right now I would be selling my house for twice what I paid and move into one of my rentals. I just can't believe the prices houses are going for right now.

I’ll let the owner know about it. We’ve used the same two suppliers for probably 30years so it’ll be hard to get him to change but he is cheap lol so who knows.
