Professional painters have the right idea for protection when it comes to spraying paint. Not only do they have a pair of goggles to protect their eyes, as well as disposable paper painter's coveralls, but they complete their ?paint barrier? with a knitted pullover hood called a ?spray sock? that keeps their heads, necks, and hair clean. Since they are disposable and only cost a few dollars, you may want to get one or more for other jobs too -- perhaps when installing fiberglass insulation overhead, sawing a hole in a drywall ceiling, or crawling into a dusty, moldy, spider-webbed crawl space or attic. Once you use it, you'll find you need it again and again. Spray sock head gear is sold on the Internet and in professional paint stores. Some hardware stores and home centers stock them, and many automotive supply houses carry them, too. The next time you're faced with a messy chore, reach for a ?spray sock? and wince no more!
