We have hired a painter and he plans to spray the paint on as it's
cheeper for the both of us. He doesn't plan to thin the paint. He's
asking us to purchase twice as much paint than if we had it brushed on.
Is this normal for spraying on paint?

request that he backbrush the paint after it is sprayed. that solves
the problems of poor adhesion from spraying.
