In PaintScout, production rates are designed to have just one default product. However, there are times when you might need to include more than one product on a surface, such as for priming. Here are some ways to handle that:

If you need to add both a priming and finish coat product to your production rate, it's best to create a separate production rate for priming. This allows you to calculate the priming material separately and account for the extra time your painters will need to prime the space.

For materials used on every project, like primer or sundries, you can factor these into the price of your products as the price entered in your Account Settings should already include the markup or the amount you want to charge the customer.

Even though production rates can only have one product per rate, you can still add multiple products to a line item. This is useful for adding sundries like tape or plastic. Just remember, materials added to line items won't automatically adjust based on project size, so you'll need to manually adjust quantities or create pre-made "sundries bundles" based on the project's size.
