I’m looking to paint my apt and the apt upstairs…and if I tried to do it in my spare time it would look like shit and take me about 2 years…I’m looking to get an estimate on cost/day and how many days it would take. My apt would be using a bunch of different colors, the upper would just be painted that generic off-white color everyone gets in a new house. ---

painting perhaps = worst task ever drastic color changes (say from white to burgundy or vice versa) require a very good primer and a lot more coats. ---

I’m only doing 1 room w/ a drastic color change, everything else is pretty smooth of a color transistion… I will be painting the wood white unfortunately…at least until I decide if I want to spend big $$$ to get new dark wood floors put in…which I prolly wont since I’d like to turn my current house into 100% rental by summer ---
