:32 poster again

Did you give him a color code from the paint store from where he buys his paints?

Or did you have someone else's code that you wanted him to cross over to his vendor?

I always have a swatch taped to the wall of what the paint is supposed to look like so when painter opens his can and lays down his first brush stroke the painter makes sure he has the right tint.

It is not uncommon for paints to be mis-tinted at a paint store.

Did the store mix the wrong color?

Did you give him a chip to match?

Or did you give him a color code for a specific store?

Paint is inexpensive. Good painters are hard to find. I'd probably just pay it or split the cost. He is doing the labor to paint the room again for free?

Did they buy the wrong color or did you just not like it?

Op said 1 room. Approx. 2 gallons, so $300 max if she went with the highest line of paint.

Legally it’s on him.

If you like him, it’s not the hill I would die on.

If you think you would use him again in the future or have used him before, I would do what this poster says or split the cost 50/50. Good painters are hard to find and one room would cost just a gallon or 2 in paint.

Yep. This is us as well, but we want to maintain the relationship and we can afford it. I might think differently if I couldn't afford it.

If you have the choice documented, you could also tell him that you'll split the price of the paint.

They made the mistake so they pay for the materials.

I hope your conversation was documented.

The painter was given a color choice and bought the wrong color and painted the room. They are going to repaint the room but are asking for material money even though we already paid for the initial paint that was wrong. Who should pay for the paint?
