title = "Paint and Finishes Pricing"

content = """
Paint costs depend on surface area, number of coats, substrate preparation, and product
quality. Labor often exceeds material cost for interior painting.

**Coverage and Coats:** Manufacturer coverage rates (sq ft per gallon) vary by product.
Two coats are standard for repaints; new drywall may require primer plus two finish
coats. High-hide colors may need an extra coat.

**Surface Prep:** Filling, sanding, caulking, and masking add labor. Lead paint
abatement requires certified methods and disposal. Document prep scope explicitly.

**Product Tiers:** Contractor-grade vs. premium paints affect both material cost and
durability. Specify sheen (flat, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss) as it influences coverage
and labor.

**Trim and Specialty:** Trim painting is typically priced per linear foot or as a
multiplier of wall area. Specialty finishes (metallic, faux, cabinets) require separate
labor assumptions.
