    Haven't a clue to be honest, and don't know anyone who got their place painted recently.

    For quotes though, www.goldenpages.ie will get you a list of painters in Wex.

    There's lotsa good painters that'll do it for a reasonable price but you should leave it for another few weeks. Frost on fresh paint is what causes it to peel off.

    That does seem pricy. I would've said about €500 per day assuming it'd be them and 1 helper.

    The way me dad charges it is €500 per day with me as his helper. I'd probably see about 150 of that. methinks i'm being ripped off for doing all the donkey work. But it would take 2 days. Because it's a first paint, you have to do 2 coats.
