What invoicing app do painters use?
Painters use SMASH to invoice interior and exterior jobs, prep work, prime and topcoat, paint supplies and multi-day jobs without typing it all at the end of the week. Save your day rate, hourly rate, common paint brands and material markup once, then describe the job by voice from the ladder. SMASH builds the GST-compliant invoice, separates labour, prep and materials, notes the colour and product, adds the payment link, and can sync it to Xero or QuickBooks.
The painting invoicing problem
Sound familiar? You're not alone.
Labour, prep and materials on one job
Three things to price, four line items to type, on a phone, with paint-stained hands.
Multi-day jobs invoiced late
A three-day interior finishes on Friday. Invoice goes out on Monday. Payment terms start late and cashflow slips.
Paint quantities from memory
Ten litres or twelve? Two coats or three? The margin disappears when materials are guessed instead of recorded.
Colour and product notes matter
Clients and property managers ask what paint was used. That information lives in a notebook or memory instead of on the invoice.
Repeat clients need consistent pricing
A property manager who uses you every quarter should get the same line items and terms without rebuilding the invoice each time.
Quote approved verbally on site
A client says yes at the inspection, but the final invoice has no clear link to the approved scope or colour selection.

In practice
Just describe the job
SMASH turns your voice into a complete, priced invoice. Here's what that looks like for painters & decorators.
You say
""Two-storey exterior repaint at the Newport property. Strip, fill, prime and two coats Dulux Weathershield. Six days labour, supplied 20 litres primer and 30 litres topcoat.""
SMASH invoices
Exterior repaint — 6 days labour + primer 20L + Dulux Weathershield 30L + prep stages = GST-ready invoice with product notes
You say
""Interior repaint at the St Kilda apartment. Living, dining, hallway and two bedrooms. Dulux Wash and Wear low sheen in Lexicon Half. Three days labour, materials supplied.""
SMASH invoices
Interior repaint — 3 days @ day rate + Dulux W&W 15L × 2 cans, colour and finish noted on invoice
You say
""Feature wall in the master bedroom. One coat, four hours labour, supplied Dulux Designer range in the client's colour.""
SMASH invoices
Feature wall — 4 hrs labour + Dulux Designer 4L = invoice with product and colour recorded
You say
""Quote for exterior weatherboard at the Geelong house. Strip, sand, fill, prime and two topcoats. Four days, supplying Haymes Solashield.""
SMASH invoices
Approved exterior quote → invoice with Haymes Solashield, prep stages and GST included
Built for the trade
Built for how painters & decorators run
Voice invoices with colour notes
Describe the job, mention the brand, colour and finish. SMASH includes them on the invoice so clients and property managers have a permanent record.
Day rate and hourly pricing
Set your day rate for full-day jobs and hourly for smaller ones. Mention which applies and SMASH uses the right one.
Paint and materials catalog
Common paint brands, primer, filler, tape and drop sheets saved with your own prices or markup so materials stop disappearing from the bill.
Multi-day job invoicing
Invoice at the end of each day or send a single invoice when the job is complete. Add prep, prime and topcoat as separate line item stages.
Quote to invoice
Quote the scope before work starts, record client approval, then convert the approved quote to an invoice without retyping.
Gmail quote requests
Open a painting enquiry in Gmail, use the Chrome extension, and turn the email into a quote without switching tabs.
Repeat client pricing
Property managers and regular clients saved with standard rates and terms. Start from the last invoice and change only what changed.
Xero + QuickBooks sync
Starter and higher plans sync invoices to accounting software, so the site invoice does not become a second admin job later.

"My accountant asked why I was getting paid so much faster. I just told her I got a better invoicing app. She's still confused."
Sarah K.

"Tried five other apps. None of them let me talk and get an invoice in under a minute. This one does. That's it, that's the review."
