Use this at the final walkthrough. The customer should be able to look up what went on each surface, find the leftover paint, and know who to call about the job.

Record what you used
- Write the job name, property address, completion date, and contractor contact details.
- Make a separate entry for each surface or finish. Use room and surface names the customer will recognize, such as “upstairs hall trim.”
- Copy the brand, product line, color name and code, and sheen from the can or order. Record the base, custom tint formula, order number, or paint store when those details help identify the product.
- Review substitutions with the crew and check the record against the final products before handing it over.
Prepare the handoff
- Label each leftover can with its room and surface. Keep the manufacturer’s original product information visible.
- Record how much paint was left, where the customer can find it, and which surfaces it goes on.
- Add product-specific care and touch-up notes based on the manufacturer’s instructions. Give the customer the contact to use for future questions.
- Check the project’s closeout requirements. Include product data sheets, safety data sheets, physical samples, or warranty documents separately when the project calls for them.
