I did three 8'x10' metal garage doors in mahogany this week in 16 hours, $2,400 total, under $100. in materials. (Painting contractor based coated and clear coated)
Also did a double entry door w/trim (outside only) in mahogany in 2 hrs. Plus base coat and clear (I pay a guy $12. hr. to do that) Averaging $100-150 an hour on these projects and I will get faster and better in time.
Cheers and Happy Holidays

I've seen Roberts' faux finishes up close and in person. He takes heart in creating interesting things to look at. Saw his woodgrains long before he attended Shep's workshop, I can only imagine how far he's come along since then.
You've got it Robert!
Keep in touch, Cher.
