Adjust Number of Coats

Adjust the number of paint coats for individual surfaces using the coats dropdown after configuring rates in account settings.

In PaintScout, you can change how many paint coats are applied to each surface on an estimate. The number of coats affects the calculated painting hours and price.

How do you change the number of coats?

1. Click the surface you want to adjust the number of coats for.

2. Use the Coats drop-down to select the number of coats for this surface.

To have the option to select the number of coats on a per-estimate basis you will first need to set a rate for 1, 2, 3, or 4 coats.

You can easily do this in the Production Rates section of your Account Settings.
