Start off trying to do exterior jobs so you are more likely to be seen.
Have a sign made with your phone number that you can stake in front yard where you are working so people know how reach you.
Offer your services at a lower price until you get a backlog of jobs and people see what good work you do for a fair price.
And make up some fliers to hand out to the neighbors where you are working offering free estimates.
Also, if you do get a referral from a paint store, make sure you try to use their product.

Contact the local paper and place an ad stating your business name, number, services offered, and maybe even experience you have had in this field. Also, if there is a local advertising channel you could place an ad on it. If there is a small hardware store in your area, ask the owner/manager if you can place business cards near the exit/entrance of their store- this will attract the attention of potential customers. You could print coupons for discounted rates... etc... Hope it helps

Register yourself with one or more paint shops in your locality. They sell paint and they refer your name, if someone need a painting job done.
