Painting Kilted....??

[Riverkilt]

I have dutifully searched the forum on this question and only found Graham's reference to wearing overalls to paint his house.

I am on the board of directors of our local domestic violence agency. Last year we purchased a defunct charter school to use as a domestic violence shelter and offices. Its a cluster of six buildings. The contractor has finished the remodeling and I just received an email that its time to paint the six buildings starting at 0700 tomorrow.

They are all just one story buildings and I believe the painting is all inside work. I'd love to wear a kilt as usual but the only kilts I can think that I might risk getting latex paint on are my UK medical white original or my UK vegan off white workman's. They would become "painter's kilts." But once they had paint spots don't know if that would make them look "weird" or "jaunty."

My personal dilemna is that I don't have any pants that I'd wear to paint in either. Maybe its time for a trip to WalMarche' for a throw away pair of painter's pants.

Any advice or suggestions from the experts appreciated.

What about just wearing an apron over the kilt? Perhaps one of the plastic faced ones used for barbecues. Also check out Robin's solution in this thread http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=28098

I think I would most definitely venture over to Wally World and grab a pair of those off white Dickies painter pants. No way I'd want to get paint on any kilt...

Ron,
I think Brad has the right of it, let the clothing fit the work

Call in sick.

Oh wait, this is a good deed thing.

Maybe one of your first sportkilts?

Actually, most paint stores have the tyvec single use coverall at a pretty low cost.

Just make sure you're not "regimental" and climbing ladders at the same time.

A Tyvek apron, dude....works wonders.

Then again, it'snot gonna kill you to have ONE pair of pants.

I wore my caramel workman's UK when I painted my bedroom. It's now got a few paint spots in it, which I think compliments the whole "Carhart Kilt" look. Around here, the only Carharts that don't have oil, grease, paint, or the like somewhere on them are in the stores on racks, so I see it as a bit more complete now.

Hey Ron,

What did you do about painting and kilts? I was going to add my 2 cents but re-read it has already occurred.

Cheers
