do you wear gloves?

If anyone else does this......

I bought gloves, surgeon gloves from hardware store a while ago and I use them when the paint is dry and I'm either putting on clearcoat or putting the body on the chassis. It helps to make sure finger prin ts dont get on the car and y our skin oil. Wondering how many other people do that like I do?

Fingerprints !? I just had mine burned off, that way I don't leave them on my models... total dedication :D

LOL. dedication? that's an understament!


I tried wearing surgeon gloves, but it got annoying because I could'nt FEEL the part I was holding, it was like modeling with numb fingers. I model without the gloves, but when I reach to touch for a part, I get nervous and my fingers get all soft and when I touch the part it, kinda leaves a mark.

lol........i only use gloves when im painting the body and when im putting the body on the chassis, and when i touch the model i wear a glove so i dont have to buff it out again

I only wear a glove when I paint my models because I don´t want to spray my right hand (I´m a leftie :D)

I use microfiber "clean room" gloves. They let your skin breathe. When I used latex gloves over time my skin would get irritated from the lack of oxygen.

I do not use any gloves or whatever stuff...because i have master the art of handling cars without leaving anything on them...

I use tweezers and pliers and toothpicks and clothes hangers.

I use latex gloves sometimes when handling recently painted parts.

I think you should sign me up for online lessons on creating body kits. Then I could work for you. How much do you charge per lesson? :D

I just keep my hands washed......constantly.

that sounds like obsessive/compulsive disorder.

No,I'm just a perfectionist.I do the same thing when I cook.

the only time i use latex is in a case of a condom :) "smirk"

other that that if ur not too anxious u should just let all dry well before toucching it or for holding the models just bend a hanger!!! one of thoese wire ones :)

I use latex gloves when I need to paint something with a Spraycan.

With my airbursh, I use Acrylic, so it's easy to wash my hand after, but Tamiya Spray can :rolleyes: I already had my nails silver for 3 days :D
