In a bedroom, for 2 undercoats & 2 topcoats (paint supplied) - what would you pay!

2 undercoats because going from dark navy to light pastel colour,small double room or large single, not sure how old, yes aluminum joinery, and 2 doors plus 1 window, and floor ledges.

Good luck finding someone who is available for one room.

A retired builder or painter. mine charges $20 per hour.
Is there any plastering, & sanding etc to be done! This is what takes the most time.
Can you get someone to quote!
1 bedroom is not a problem, its called cash job.

It's not a difficult job if you alrady have the paint and room is ready to paint. Go to Mega or Bunnings and get some cheap plastic drop cloths, a cutting in brush and a roller set. If you aren't confident about cutting in, then buy some masking tape. Mega and those sort of places often have mistints (that might be good for you) at a fraction of the price.

Agree with sunflower here, not a hard job at all, and would only take a few days (allowing for dry-time)

Ever heard of tinting the u/c!
No need for two u/c.
