Re: Manhours To Paint Book Shelfes

Id have to ask, spray? Furniture grade? Putty, caulk to do? Pulling out an HVLP or Cupgun to fine finish with putty and caulk is lots more than a simple squirt job.

Re: Manhours To Paint Book Shelfes

I did a basic 22 ft. X 10 ft. with entertainment center in the middle. Lots of shelves as they were for collector plate display.

One coat per day for semi-crude stuff.

Re: Manhours To Paint Book Shelfes

Brush and roll, brave. Two coats plus primer, no putty/caulk I would price about 12-16 hours.
