Work out how long on average it takes to paint it and how much paint you used.
(T X HW) + (PC X VP) = how much to charge.
Where:
- T is the time it takes you to paint 1ft2 in hours. (10 mins= 0.167, 15 mins=0.25)
- HW is how much you think you should make per hour.
- PC is the paint cost per unit volume.
- VP is the volume of paint used.

How many coats of white paint is needed to cover a dark surface of up to 600 sq ft?
The answer will depend on the quality of the paint, the coverage of the paint and the preparation of the surface being painted. The Lowe's paint calculator says primer covers 200 square feet per gallon, and paint covers 350 square feet per gallon. Assuming for a dark surface you need at least 2 coats, and you are only using paint and not primer, and not knowing the type of paint, I would start with 3 gallons to be sure you have enough for 2 coats, and then see how it looks. If you need three coats, you might still have enough.

Do you charge the customer every coat of paint you put on?
An auto-body professional does not charge per-coat, but does charge per hour of labor, which will increase as the number of coats increase. Most professionals know how much paint is needed to achieve uniformity and quality. Part of what you're paying for when you take your car to a professional to be painted, is that very knowledge.If you're willing to pay more to have more coats of paint applied, I'm sure the professional would be willing to comply.
