Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Most painters charge by the square footage of the project rather than an hourly rate. However, painters who do charge by the hour typically charge $20 to $60 per hour for a standard job. More complex or physically demanding jobs may be able to go for $100 per hour in labor costs. 

You should apply at least two coats of paint to your project, but some surfaces may benefit from a third coat of paint. Ensure you’ve waited the right length of time before applying a second or third coat of paint, and try to apply it evenly for a cohesive finish.

Consider skipping the primer if possible; it's only necessary if you need to cover something up, such as a stain or a porous surface, or if you want to switch from a dark color to a light one. If you have a steady hand and are a precise painter, you may want to consider skipping the painter’s tape. Instead, carry a damp rag with you as you paint to quickly wipe away any mistakes.

The two most common paint types are latex-based paint and oil-based paint. Here are some of the most significant differences between the two:

Latex-based paint:

  • $15–$60 per gallon on average

  • Best for living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways

  • Dries more quickly than oil-based paints

  • More difficult to clean compared to oil-based paint

Oil-based paint

  • $20–$70 per gallon on average

  • Good for bathrooms, kitchens, doors, and trim

  • Easy to clean and holds up well against moisture

  • More likely to chip than latex-based paint

  • Requires good ventilation while drying

No, you shouldn’t mix paint thinner with latex paint. To thin latex pain, add water instead. Use 1/2 cup of water per gallon of paint to start until you reach your paint’s desired thickness — never use more than 4 cups of water per gallon of paint.
