Picked up another can of black satin just in case we get another bad can like before. Going to grab more gloves today just to make sure we have a ton of them.

I really don't get how you guys go through so many gloves

I would think 5 pairs for each of us is enough....

Nope! Its not..

Its because you're dealing with paint, thats the main reason why you run through a lot of gloves. Look at the outcome of what we did, the paint was spot on. No runs, no orange peel, no fish eye, no fingerprints, nothing.

You spend a few extra dollars, to make it look good. I know with me painting as much as I was, I ran out of gloves, and I NEED gloves to get the job done right.. just saying.

So are you like throwing away a pair of gloves after each coat of paint? That's the only way I can make sense of using that many. I mean I wasn't there for most of the headlight work (ffffuuuuuuu wetsanding) so I don't really know.

I can get the drop cloth when I go back to Wal-Mart to grab the gun metal paint. Should I get the same size or one slightly smaller (9 x 12 ft instead of 10 x 20)?
