Hello,

we have received an offer from our painter: instead of white walls, we wanted a light shade of white. This is supposed to cost one euro more per sqm of painted surface. Mind you: there are no masking or similar work involved, just a slightly different shade. Location: Baden-Württemberg.

Is that too expensive or normal?

That does not create any additional effort for the painter. Therefore, the euro can actually only come from the material costs. You can compare the prices of the paints.

With 1 liter of paint you can cover on average 6-7 sqm. So he wants 6-7€ more per liter.

Assuming I get good paint for 7€ per liter for very good white paint. Then tinted paint by machine for this same white color would cost me 7.58€ - 11.98€ per liter.

Where the highest price would already be very strongly tinted.

Sometimes the surcharges on the tones are not always clearly recognizable (i.e. the price groups in a color tone matrix).
