well, I just tell them that the last guy I did a window for paid me (insert appropriate rediculously high figure here) and then I smile charmingly and wait for the response. Sometimes they pay it and I establish a really great customer and sometimes they say yeah right and ask me what's the real price, and yet sometimes they are not interested and they give me no business, but thats ok, because there's too many people who will.

as far as what I actually get for a splash well,
that Roti restaurant I asked for $450 but only got $250 and a few free meals.

the 0%financing I actually did 2 of them one on each side. and I did some windshields that day, I completed all of it in a day and walked of with $825 that day, and it's fun too.

Yes, Dawood, your work is getting better! Hey, I like the Nissan symbol, & the restaurant one you did! Beautiful work!

I have never done a splash before, what kind of paint do you use? And what kind of brushes?

Dawud,
I do splashes in Michigan.
Do you have trouble with sometimes having more business than you could do and other times ya just cant make anything happen that week?

Is splashing your only source of income?
I'm doing okay but I want to be a bigger company
and the feast and famine makes me crazy.
cool stuff by the way

Dawn,

To address the feast/famine situation, I am developing a yearly contract. The more rotaions a client wishes to purchase, the better the price per square foot. This way promotions can be planned ahead of time and I can plan my workload and finances better. I am also beginning to offer monthly budget paying plan, (those with established good credit)it will help my clients as well as me.

Those splashes look great, especially the Nissan one! those shadings are quite impressive. Do you work from the inside? I just haven't mastered that, as I'm still working on the outside as much as possible.
that Nissan rocks, though.
