What do you do after you have picked the right colors for the rooms in your home that you plan on painting? Before you get too excited and start popping the tops off the paint cans and preparing your brushes and rollers, take time to prepare yourself for what can be a dirty job. It is not enough to paint your home in the same clothes you would wear to work in the garden; painters coveralls and other protective gear can ensure you finish the job safely and with a minimum of paint on yourself.
* Let’s start at the top:
Whatever you wear on your head, whether it is a cap or a bandanna is going to get covered with paint anyway, so find an old one. By covering your hair you will not only keep it free from paint splatter, it will keep your hair out of your eyes.
* Talk about eyes:
Getting something in your eye at the best of times can be quite painful, paint can be even worse. Dirt, debris and paint flecks will be flying around and can easily get in your eyes. Wear safety goggles, the type that completely encapsulate your eyes; they may not be stylish but it is better to keep paint out of your eyes than wish you had.
* Now the body:
Painters coveralls are perfect, that is exactly what they are designed for. Painters coveralls are non-restrictive, you can reach and stretch without any binding but at the same time the sleeves are tight so they don’t drag across a freshly painted surface or worse yet, through the paint tray.
Pick shoes that are safe when you climb a ladder, avoid any shoes with slick, leather soles, the best bet is to wear an old pair of sneakers. If you are worried about tracking paint through the house when leave the room, slide your feet into a couple of plastic bags.
If you are getting ready to paint, don’t forget that you need protection as well as the floors and furniture. For painters coveralls you are invited to shop online at MPE, visit their website at visit website
