One coat or two on Exterior Repaints
LJ:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){jQuery(function(){jQuery("#msg_20964").css("overflow-y", "hidden");});});I am curious to your-all's approach regarding selling one-coat or two-coats on exterior repaints. I have heard different reasons for doing it different ways and I'd enjoy your thoughts on the subject. :)
Thanks all!

jQuery(document).ready(function($){jQuery(function(){jQuery("#msg_20965").css("overflow-y", "hidden");});});I think it depends on the job. I can't really be that salesman that you are supposed to be in the business world and go to every exterior bid with the attitude that you are selling the customer two coats whether it needs it or not. If the paint is in good shape and you are painting with the same color, a spot prime and one coat may give the customer the best bang for their buck. Sure, you can always argue that two coats is better than one, but is that really giving the customer the best value?

Nope, must have been someone else wondering the same thing. Now I'm curious, I'll need to go check out painttalk.
Edit: The thread on Painttalk was good, but I'm interested in everyone's thoughts here.

My aunts house which I spot primed and did a one coat application and back rolled was painted 7 years ago with a ICI Delux and its holding up very well, the facia got 2 coats because the wood was bad and cracking and peeled paint to the wood, it was primed then double coated its holding up also.
