What city spent the most money last year Painting?

I wonder how you could find out some statistics or a guesstimate on what was spent on repaints last year per city or everywhere.

i think they did have a strong real estate market but they are starting to get beat up too. a lot of banking institutions are based there, and a lot of banks are not doing well so that is effecting their economy. texas has a strong real estate market right now. i spent a lot of time there in 2008 and apparently they didn't get the message the rest of the country is struggling. they have building and construction going everywhere.
