house and we gave them an A rating and highly recommended them in a prior review. After the completion of the painting one exterior wall of our house, which had many cracks prior to the painting, was not as perfect as we wanted it to be. We asked Richard Negrete, the owner/contractor, what could be done. He explained what needed to be done and said he would only charge for what it cost him to hire two plasterers to replaster the wall and two painters to do a prime coat followed by two final coats of paint. The job took several days of work and we are satisfied with the cost and the result. We highly recommend Rainbow Bright Painting and Richard Negrete, the owner/contractor. He is pleasant, easy to work with, conscientious about his work, and generously only charged us for the four men who worked over several days.

He seems to be a perfectionist who does much more than one might expect of a painter since he is meticulous about caulking and otherwise improving the underlying surfaces so it looks amazing. He is also very honest and trustworthy, does exactly what he says, and is very reasonably priced as well. We will certainly call him again the next time we have a paint job and would recommend him very strongly to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and reasonably priced painter.

I have a 1968 Ford Mustang GT/CS that was painted cherry red by the former owner. I did all of the prep work myself, and they didn't mind. I took out the windows, removed all the trim, bumpers, etc. and then had the car towed over. They looked up the original paint color codes for my vehicle, walked me around the car so I could point out that I wanted the underside of the hood, the door jambs, trunk, etc. all painted. They showed me samples of the various quality levels I could purchase...it's obviously more expensive if you want a clear coat, wet sand etc. They gave me a cost estimate, and how long it would take. I dropped the car off and came back once it had been sanded and the body work was done. I inspected the pre-paint work and then gave them the thumbs up. After the painting was complete, I noticed they forgot to paint the underside of the hood. No worries, they took care of the problem the next day and had the car ready the following day. They gave me clear instructions on how to care for the new paint. The overall paint job looked EXCELLENT, especially for the money. Doing the prep work saved me a lot of money, and they didn't seem to mind. They really did a nice job getting all the door jambs and trunk, etc. sprayed evenly. There were no blemishes, the body work was superb, and it was exactly what I expected. Some minor orange peel, which was to be expected for how cheap the paint job was. I came back a few months later for a wet-sand when they had a discount, and the orange peel was gone when I picked the car up. Great work with a nice warranty.

FAQs for exterior painting projects in Santa Barbara, CA
You should paint your home exterior every five to 10 years, on average. Climate and surroundings can affect how well paint holds up. Wood siding will likely need a fresh coat of paint every three to seven years. Paint on brick tends to last about eight to 17 years, on average.
Calculate the square footage of the area you want to paint. Divide the square footage by 350 (the average square footage a gallon of paint covers). Multiply the number of gallons you need by two, as you’ll likely be applying two coats of paint. For a more accurate estimate, subtract the square footage of the windows and doors from the initial square footage total. It’s a good idea to plan for an extra gallon of paint to make sure you have enough to finish the job.
To calculate the square footage of a home exterior, painters multiply the length of the wall by the height of the wall to be painted. Then they add the total square footage for all of the walls to be painted. To calculate the price, they multiply the total square footage by their cost per square foot to prep and paint. Additional costs may factor in such as repairs, additional trim, and walls higher than the first story.
The cost to paint the exterior of a house ranges from $1,900 to $4,500 or about $1.50 to $4 per square foot, depending on the size, height, and complexity of the home layout. Other cost factors include your location, the type of siding (e.g., wood, aluminum, brick, stucco, etc.), and the kind of paint (e.g. oil-based, latex, acrylic, etc.). Painting the trim a different color or painting intricately designed trim can also increase the cost.
You should apply at least two coats of paint when painting the exterior of your house. Two coats of paint provides better durability and more even coverage than just one coat.
