Painting Invoice Template

A painting invoice template pre-filled with the line items painters actually bill: prep work, paint and materials, and labor — with the math done for you.

Starts on the Modern style — a confident violet — a painter’s paperwork should show color. Switch to any of the four included styles in one click.

No document caps, no watermarks. Your work autosaves in your browser and exports as PDF, JSON, or CSV.

Pre-filled with the line items this trade bills most — change anything below.

Frequently asked questions

What should a painting invoice include?
Prep work, paint and materials, and labor as separate lines, so the client can see what they’re paying for the product versus the work.
Can I request a deposit before starting a painting job?
Yes — issue a deposit invoice for part of the total up front, and a second invoice for the balance on completion.
Can I send a receipt once it’s paid?
Yes — record the payment on the invoice and issue a receipt for it in one step. The receipt names the invoice and payment it settles.
What if the job started as an estimate?
Convert the accepted estimate into an invoice in one step — the line items, numbering lineage, and design carry over. Start from the painting estimate template if you’re quoting first.
