What do painters wear to work?

Painters expect to get paint on their clothes, so the usual advice is simple, comfortable and replaceable. But a branded shirt also advertises your business on every job.

The practical kit

Most painters wear comfortable work pants, a light shirt that breathes, and shoes they do not mind ruining. Many keep a separate set of clothes for messy work and a clean branded shirt for meetings and estimates.

Fabric

Lightweight shirts keep painters cooler on ladders and in closed rooms. Polyester dries quickly if it gets wet. Paint can stain any fabric, so many crews rotate shirts.

Use your shirt as advertising

Neighbours see your crew at the house for days. A shirt with your company name and phone number turns that into free advertising. See how to uniform a trade crew.

Common questions

Do painters wear white?

Traditionally yes, white hides paint splatter and reflects heat, but many crews now wear brand colours.

Should painters wear long sleeves?

Long sleeves protect arms from splatter and sun on exterior jobs.
