Key Features

Photo-based problem diagnosis
Customized preparation checklist (sanding, cleaning, priming)
Product and tool recommendations with purchase links
Drying timer and weather-aware scheduling

Target Users: DIY homeowners tackling interior/exterior paint projects, especially those inexperienced with proper surface prep.

Revenue Model: Freemium with $4.99 per project plan or $9.99/month subscription for unlimited plans and product discounts.

Part of App Idea

User needs a clear protective coating that can be applied over existing latex paint to prevent peeling and scratching without stripping the old paint.
