you can use pretty much any type of paper. I personally would stick with tp or paper towels just because you get such a great texture from it. I wouldn't use newspaper due to it being so slick and plain. Rubber gloves would work as well. Hell you could take a thermal long sleeve shirt and latex and tp up the arms and whatnot and use that. If you do it that way, you can add chest and back decay to the shirt as well and just have one thing to put on to cover all the areas. I honestly believe though that the best to use would be the underarmour shirts. Just make sure you have a form to put them on close to your shape so that once everything is dried and painted, you don't cut any circulation off because the fit is too tight...latex has a good bit of give...but not that much.Finally in respect to latex, I use good old RD-407 latex...it's the industry standard after all. Try to stay away from the makeup grade latex because it isn't as hardy and is very very thin....take care,Tommy
