How to create your own seamless colored gloves:

Protect your work area from paint dust with foil or other masking material.

Inflate the gloves only enough to achieve their basic shape – not like a balloon! Secure the ends with the rubber bands. With a little tape, you can easily attach the gloves anywhere so you can paint them all over. Clean the surface of the gloves of any powder, dust, and anything else. If you're adding claws or similar to the fingertips later, keep the fingers separated using cardboard and a little tape (see image below).

Mix the paint: About 3 parts latex milk and 1 part acrylic paint – then add enough water until you achieve a milky consistency.

Use the dust catcher to remove any lint from the gloves. Apply the paint in thin layers with the airbrush, removing any lint on each dry layer before the next one!

Very important: Before removing any adhesive tape, rubber bands, and spacers from the dried gloves, rub them thinly with latex dressing aid! Then remove everything else and rub the rest of it in with another thin layer.

Adding details, putting on, and taking off:

Now, thoroughly clean the areas where the details will be applied with industrial cleaner. Be precise: The cleaner will remove some of the paint. Now you can apply the details with hot glue. Tip: If you want to add details to gloves while they're on, protect your skin from the heat of the hot glue with some tape on your skin.

You can make the dressing process much easier with the latex dressing aid. A few cleaning wipes in your con bag will keep your hands and those of your helpers nice and clean during glove breaks, e.g., while eating ;-)
