Re: Interior Project


More info. Make sure you point out that 1 coat over a primer will probably show thin areas by the cut lines. This is normal for 1 coat as far as I'm concerned. Excessive touch up should be expected and figured into your price. 1 coat of anything but a flat can most likely show some flashing on any smooth wall. A texture is more forgiving, but don't get stuck basically putting on 2 coats for the price of 1. Make it known you will not be held liable for someone elses masking job..etc.
