Most paint companies wear white pants and white shirts with a company logo or plain. Here are some reasons why painters originally wore white and still do: – Painting, originally, was mostly white.

admin June 19th, 2010 No Comments

There were many city planning reasons for building row houses and saving space was one of them.
