1.32. Vinyl / Painted Signs and Background Painting?
On the vinyl/painted signs window: when picking the substrate, I'm
assuming that this is a 'raw' substrate, ready for lettering (which is why
it asks how many coats of paint). Is this correct? And regarding the
coats of paint: would this be total number of coats, both front and back?
Or just the side to be lettered?
Vinyl / Painted Signs and Background Painting: Yes, the substrate is 'raw,' and EstiMate assumes painting of both sides. The cost for the paint can be set in the preferences portion of EstiMate. Management > Configure EstiMate > Preferences. In our shop we charge for three coats and this covers our primer and paints with room to spare.
I really the like the customer & vendor dashboards - the ability to attach any file to the customer data base in Estimate is great! Categorizing items is also a big help. We have a lot of items we use the retail items plug-in to price & it is nice to be able categorize them now. I am sure there are more features that we will use after we convert to 2011. I have used Estimate since 2003 from Version 1 to Version 2 & now 2011. Every version has come out with more great features.
