GREAT TIP '''Leftover paint with hardener can be placed in the refrigerator. The cold temperature will slow down the hardener., you can even throw you spray gun in there if you find you need some supplies, and you are in the middle of painting!'''

     When painting it is always a good idea to were some kind of protecive clothing it not only helps keep you from contacting the toxic materials but it also will help keep unwanted materials from getting on your paint job. The first and most important is a paint mask made for '''automotive''' refinishing there are a lot of companys that sell these. Get a paint suit or use a lint free pair of coveralls. The next thing is a pair of gloves, latex style, I have found that the nitrle gloves hold up better to the chemicals. Do not use a set of rubber gloves they are to clumsy and you need the motion that you get from the latex style gloves. Get some kind of lint free head cover, this keeps your hair on your head and not on the job you are working on. They also recommed a foot cover(which I never used) but they look like a sock for your shoes.

     There are many different companys that these items can be purchased, local stores and internet. The most important item that you need is a paint mask. You can get buy with out the other items(with extra buffing when you are done) but the '''paint mask''' is the most important.
