Looks good. Time has no meaning when you're getting your feet wet at something new. Experience that you can take with you means much more than an hourly wage from time to time.
Did you use a pounce pattern or did you use some sort of stencils ??
What type of paints and brushes did you use ??

Because that is the ONLY way to do a walljob! You can make a skin and attach it but it is NOT A WALLJOB!

Not my first one but it's the tallest one.
Used all oneshot, 3/4" angled fitch, a quill for touchups, and a 2" cutter to finish out the letters.
Used a pounce pattern in 2 pieces.
Total size is 18' x 7'. Could've done most in a day but that globe was a royal PITA.
No clue what you mean... lolWhat I mean...why a walljob and not an attatchment? Just curious.
Yeah, I'm not the fastest at this, and that globe... like I said, was a PITA, and it was too cold until about 9am... then could work till about 4 and then it was too cold again. So figure 20 hours, and I'd say most of that was trying to fix up Australia and Antartica, and fixing the huge drip I got from painting too early in the morning with thinned paint. lol.

Three days? Man, I am three times your age and could have done that in one.
Hope you charged accordingly, like my brother screeched at me the entire time I was repainting the Wendy's sign "every hour you take is costing ME money!"
Turned out good, you will get faster the more of these jobs you get.
The nice thing about wall painting is that you can charge a premium.
Just be careful about drips (not the ones saying "you spelled that wrong")
and equipment.
Love....Jill

Congrats! I'm surprised you didn't have JDB knock that one out for you.

New Years Resolution ... do more stuff myself.
and yeah, the 3 day breakdown.. .first day, lay out the paper (wind made it miserable), pounce, paint the bottom black text and start around the Q
Next day, finish the black and lay in the blue on the globe.
3rd day, fix my mistakes, clean up the drips and lay on the green, then out of there in time for some chicken teriyaki.
I don't exactly "swing a brush" very often. lol. I'm sure you're a far better painter than me.

Looks good Flame.
I had a different understanding of Wall Job, though. My father had a 197x Datsun 210SX an when he brought to the dealer to get it fixed, they would put it against the wall and leave it there all day, tell my father they fixed it, made him pay and then send him on his way. Several times the car did not start…
Until today, that was a wall job!
