Estimating Guidelines
The following examples are very useful in estimating the materials cost when painting with Fine
Paints of Europe® finishes. If you are planning on doing the work yourself, the only additional
costs will be incidentals such as sandpaper, solvents, brushes, etc. If you are planning on using a
professional painter, your labor factor with FPE paints will normally be the same or a bit more
than that for conventional domestic coatings, and your overall cost including labor will seldom
increase more than 15%.
Doors
Wooden doors measuring 6'6" x 3'; new or previously painted.
