Thin coat over paint

[User___removed]

I have job where the customer wants a bucket coat finish on his property.it has been painted so I will use either parinter or base coat followed by a silicone/acrylic finish.what do you think would be the est option for the base coat? Also is mesh needed over the whole job?the area is 450m2,and as allways they are on a tight budget!!!

 

[beddy]

Ask them for the sake of the price the mesh is it worth having it all crack.

Betokontak , hpx with mesh for me Bobby

 

[keithuk]

For peace of mind i would mesh mate

 

[bobspread]

Should of said pin it also

Speak to the manufacturer first for a spec. Find out what paint is on the wall.

450 m and tight budget don't go together.

 

[keithuk]

you have covered yourself that way , and if they get another price ,just say is that meshed and pinned

 

[bobspread]

Probably looking at £5000 in materials alone!

Ditto that mate!

It's 450 metres, what do you expect, I'd walk away to be honest if there wishing to scrimp At this stage. Explain the other option of knocking it all off and add 2 grand to the estimate and see what they say.

 

[owls]

If parex find you've done it and deviated from spec with parinter and there are any issues, your on your own.

They looking at 15 k plus for a job that size with a bucket coat. If youre charging Vat then by the time they paid for scaffold its 20k done properly. That must be some monster house if you look an average 3 bedder is bout 120m2.
Give em a labour only budget price on a few systems to stay with a chance and tell em the materials they want if its a top spec job or budget job.

Thanks for the replays chaps.i have emailed the guy to find out what paint he has used.i will then contact parex and try and get a spec out of them.to be honest there isn't a lot wrong there the substrate,a little tatty if anything.the guy had a marmorite system(thin coat)on his house 6 years back and to be fair made a good job of it so he wants the same finish.
It's a large hotel right on the beach.
I think people like the idea of having these jobs done without knowing the costs involved.

Slightly off topic but Do Parex/Weber have regional reps??

I know weber do mate ,why you ask ?

 

[Curry]

Parex will spec a base of parinter with monorex gf on top. Then topped with primer and dpr. Full mesh plus extra around windows/stress points

 

[User___removed]

Only thing that worrys me is that the paint he had used is like a gloss like paint.defo not standard weather shield

i was just wondering if they just gave you a spec over the phone or they have a local rep come to site to give you a heads up cos every job is different

 

[User___removed]

Isn't monorex gf a through colour render?
I was thinking parinter,mesh,dpr topcoat

I always think a rep turning up at a customers job ,makes you look like you don,t know what your doing :RpS_unsure:

 

[Arti]

rather that than **** it up..................IMO

 

[keithuk]

See what you are saying mate ,but if unsure ,i would rather walk away IMO :RpS_wink:

 

[Arti]

But then how do you increase your knowledge of different jobs........................:RpS_wink:

 

[User___removed]

Getting hold of the rep over the phone is hard enough never mind them coming to your job.

 

[keithuk]

But then how do you increase your knowledge of different jobs........................:RpS_wink:

Your on a forum with 5000 members ,if you said to me you need to see how a system works ,i would say come on site with me for a few days mate , if i can help i will ,IMO :RpS_wink:

 

[Arti]

and i would snap ya hand off with that offer keith if you were only up the doors or i was ever doon your way.................but can you see my point though?

 

[User___removed]

I have a bag of parinter in my lock up so might lay on a bit with mesh and do the pull test!!!

 

[keithuk]

Few days out to add a string to your bow , or a rep that is reading the system out of the book and has never even done the job , you tell me my friend

 

[Arti]

Point taken.........................:RpS_thumbup:














































































Fu@king smart arse..........................:RpS_sneaky:

Only trying to help mate :RpS_wub:

Maybe i was naive to think the reps would have a scooby doo more than the guys on the ground......................:RpS_blushing:

Don,t get me wrong ,some i have meet are top of their game ,but few and far between , best rep are the ones that have worked the systems they sell

 

[Arti]

Another benefit i was thinking of would be if they did the spec you would have more of a back up if it went tits up .............:RpS_unsure:
