    The cost of a few gallons of paint and supplies. Then you get some friends over, have a few beers, and hang out while you paint.

    Hi, agavewoodworks!

    How much it might cost would depend on a number of factors. For instance, the manner in which the paint is applied - i.e. by brush, roller or spray. The number of coats to be applied. The sheen of the paint to be applied. Whether any repairs to the surfaces that are to be painted need to be done. Whether the surfaces to be painted are textured in any way or not.

    Just a few things to be considered... As such, having more information from you would be helpful.

    The going rates for painting are pretty much standardized, if this is for the United States. But, the rates will vary depending on the location. For instance, in larger communities, the rates will generally be higher, but there still is a standard. If a handyman does it as compared to a professional painter, there will also be a difference in price.

    Also, are you going to be doing the painting or hiring someone to do it, please?

    Thanks!
