The farmer next door has been using the traveling painters from S.C. for a long time, and he was pleased with the results, so we tried them. The price does indeed go down with dickering though. This spring they did both my barns and the tin roofs, plus the tin roof on the house, in one long day. Several (black) guys were doing the painting. The white guys just put paint in the tank. They may or may not have diluted the paint but I watched them unseal and put in the tank twenty-three apparently unopened 5 gallon buckets of Barn Red and a few more of aluminum paint. Everything within spraying distance had little red or silver dots on it, including anything inside the barn near the sides, also one dog (red paws) and the other dog (silver ears). Other than the overspray, they did a decent job. No prep at all though, just point and shoot. The paint is on plenty thick and when my wife pointed out areas that were not done correctly, they promptly resprayed them. I'd use them again, just cover everything with plastic first!
