Has anyone had any experience with a Painting Business or know of anyone who has? It seems like it would be wide open for anyone with decent marketing skills and a real drive to gain business. The actual work doesn't seem all too difficult to learn either.

I know from customers who hired painters, the biggest issues they had with the painting contractors were:

1.) Showing up on time(or at all...)
2.) Finishing the job
3.) Attention to detail and producing quality work.

So what's the catch? Why isn't there a mad rush to start this low barrier to entry business?
