    Hi, Norma-Jean!

    Yes, you're good to learn as much about the business before really getting into it.

    How much experience have you already had painting for others in order to make a profit for yourself, please?

    One of the things that I do for a living, is that I'm a painter.

    Thanks!

    It is very difficult to accurately prepare estimates. I would strongly recommend you working with an established painter and assistng with estimates before attempting this on your own. You need to know what things might come up and the only way you will learn is being apprenticing with someone experienced.

    Hi again, NORMA-JEAN!

    If you're uncertain as to how to make estimates, I can help you on this thread. Concerning the amount of experience that you've already had, it would still be helpful to know about that.

    Thanks!
