How standards work in Paint Pals
How a production standard is built from the first coat, each extra coat and the prep steps, how that lines up with the estimating spreadsheets, and how to make your own with the setup wizard. Then the standards that work some things out for you: windows, doors, garage doors and soffits painted with the body, and walls, ceilings and baseboards painted together.
