The polypropylene painter's coveralls protect clothes and skin from paint, grease and dirt, and they can be washed in cold water and reused. Shoe guards help keep floors clean during painting and interior construction. Spray sock hoods and a cardboard paint spray shield help protect your head and surfaces while spraying.
