How Much Should A Pro Charge To Paint An Exterior Door?

I paid $400 for two doors and four shutters but I have no idea if that price is good or if I got screwed.....

Red?

Get your ring back. She lacks class

Wtf dude, take $30 and go to home Depot and ask them what you need. That's like 30 minutes of work.

For a quality job you want it sprayed I am not cleaning a sprayer of your paint for less than 500.

$28 paint
$125 labor
$150 up charge cause he knows you're lazy

$300 should get it done

Maybe without sanding and just one coat. What a dumb post.

$30 wouldn't cover the paint. Painting a front door AND doing a decent job is not as easy as most of y'all are saying it is. If it was, i'd do it myself. It's going to need to be sanded, primed with a tinted primer (b/c of the red), high quality paint that will require at least 3 coats and hopefully self level to eliminate brush strokes. Like I said, red is a pain in the arse and I want it to look good.
Guess I'll start calling painters for quotes.

Oh, they don't bother me. You always have to weed through about 80% of the responses to get to the helpful ones.
Plus you have to figure most of them are just gonna go the opposite of my question. If I ask how to do it myself, many of the responses would have been OT ballers hire painters. If I ask how much should I pay a pro, the responses were bound to be that I'm lazy and should just do it myself

That's an interesting idea and something to possibly consider.
