Second Coat or not 
In residential repaint (walls) situations wondering what others do on their estimates for offering one coat or two. Some colors obviously need a second coat or more but my question is about the in between colors where you might be able to cover the walls with one coat with a little touch up afterwards. Do some of you always do two coats? I've been estimating for one coat and touch up at one price and a rolled second coat at a lower square foot price? Wondering how others handle this?

Re: Second Coat or not 
Ditto to what Prowall said. We almost always bid for two coats, that way there are no suprises for the HO's. Its much easier to give back the price for a second coat if its not needed than to ask for more money.

Always two coats, and if its red or yellow sometimes it takes three our four coats
