    Hi, justjerre21!

    There are many variables that go into how much to charge for a paint job. Such as, city or town location, repairs to the surface areas, many in which the paint is applied - I.E. brush, roller or spray. The number of coats, type of paint, the person who is supplying the paint, any furniture to be moved, etc.

    If any paint is applied by brush, the dollar figure is more.

    So, it would help to have more specifics concering that type of job in order to address it the best.

    Thanks!
