Messy painters.
Before I even to start to paint my intended surface I manage to get paint everywhere
.I take the lid off the paint and straight away have paint on my hands,
..I stir the paint and now is all down the side of the tin, on the table it my garage, more on my hands, a bit on my sleeve where I have pulled it up at the elbow and the odd splash on my face and front
Am I just a messy beggar are are other people the same

The trellis looks good though!

Re: Messy painters.
I was painting my 5ft fence panels recently and I'm quite tidy and dont make much mess . Usually a few splashes on my specs and arms . A Male friend offered a helping hand as I had 15 to do . I was delighted so he started on the other side . After half an hour I put my head around the fence , he was practically sand coloured , his face and arms covered and the mess on the pavement , I couldn't help but laugh . I had hardly a splash on me .Not going to accept anymore offers of help again

I enjoy painting but have yet to learn how to be a clean painter!
