I have to price a job for new construction and can't figure out what to charge this new client. He wants the trim painted (one coat) white over white pre-primed. is there a running foot charge I can quote him for this area.

i am not from the area. but will try to help. will you be doing it up or a pre finish? i could do a whole bunch of trim with my airless and some saw horses very fast. i will allways pre prime and paint one coat, then putty holes, caulk crack and put the 2nd coat of paint in place. we do mostly new homes so when i bid trim in i know allready how long it will take, then i x it by my hourly price and add materials in . peace, dave
Thanks for the reply, as all of this trim is a new kind of man made product it comes pre-primed and I will only be putting one coat of exterior finished paint on the entire job. what do you think that worth? two story colonial type house

750 lin. ft. total
you can paint 100 lin. ft. in an hour
7.5 hours to do job, lets say 8, full day
What do you need to make for a day of labor?
$200, $300, $400?
Say $350 + materials.
