A Pa​inter Helping Other Painters

Hey fellow painting professionals, are you just starting out on your own in the painting business? Looking back 15 years now, when Jeff started out on his own he wished he would have a mentor or a painting business coach to answer questions about the business side of things. He's sure, if he had someone to consult with occasionally they would have saved him thousands of dollars in bad marketing choices and useless painting equipment purchases.


Hopefully, this collection of educational videos linked here will help overcome some of the struggles painters will encounter when just starting out on their own. Jeff will cover various aspects of the painting business including - good vs bad marketing, purchasing the right equipment, estimating interior and exterior projects profitably and other important topics. "A painter helping other painters" is the reason these videos were created.  Hopefully they will help save you money and headaches.

Equipment Review - The Roll-A-Bucket

Jeff Lockwood reviews the Roll-A Bucket. A nifty rolling 6 gallon bucket with a custom paint grid. The Roll A Bucket is maneuvered with a paint roller, the same way you would use a mop to steer a mop bucket. The specially designed wheels are designed to roll over tarps. Designed by a painter for painters. Great design and a wonderful piece of pro painting equipment. Two thumbs up.
