it is going to cost a minimum of eight dollars just to buy a can of rest oleum spray paint and that if you just wanna paint it one solid color. You’ll need to add your time for traveling to the store to pick up supplies as well as preparation time, such as removing the flag, or typing the flag. So I would say $45 minimum just for a solid color. If you have to use two cans of paint add an additional $10 or more and if you’re doing anything decorative then you’ve got to be charging for your time. It could cost as much as $200 or more to have two sides of the mailbox painted in addition to the front lid. Painters and artist are professionals with a specialize skill and should be paid accordingly.

What is the price one should charge to prep and paint home exteriors?
Exterior paint cost can be figured by looking on the back of the can. Look to see how much square footage the can will cover, then divide that into the quoted paint cost.
How much would you charge to paint a room 280sq Ft?
My profit plus what I give to the painter.
How much would you charge to paint a fence 6 foot high x 165 foot long?
That would depend on whether you had to pay for paint, how much paint costs, how many coats you need to give it, and how fast you can paint. If I have to buy the paint, I would ask at least $200 to give it one coat of cheap paint, with no guarantees.
How much should a diy charge per foot for exterior paint job?
It's too complicated to figure that way. Fix a suitable hourly rate and work to that. I've done it for years and it works best.
Can you burn wood with paint on it?
You should never burn wood with paint on it unless you know, specifically, what kind of paint it is, that the paint is question is safe to burn, and that there is no other chemical treatment on the wood. There is such a thing as paint that is safe to burn, but you should never assume a given paint is safe. In particular, you should avoid burning wood with lead based paint on it, and much of the old paint was lead based.
