Accepted Answer

Lol well its got to be -why do painters always wear white. And I didn't really know until 4 - years ago,it's simply because many years ago the most common paint that was used and available was white,so it's the least showing paint on our cloths as back then all we had was brushes -no spray guns or rollers and was a bit messy with just a brush

What makes you the most reliable and trustworthy person for the job?

Accepted Answer

Well I'm pretty fussy and can't help myself getting things right with most things I do so if it's noticeable by my eye I will fix it again and my boys call me anal lol but in my eyes that's what makes me better than most as better off fixing something than being told by a client something isn't good enough
