Everything he touches turns to gold but it’s not a chain reaction so presumably he could just wear some fine ass gold gauntlets

But if king midas puts on the gloves they turn to gold and then he can’t ever take them off
Clearly the only prudent solution is for him to lather himself up entirely with (now) golden bodypaint
Isn’t gold like super pliable though? It seems the gold doesn’t spread through other gold things like some kind of gold plague or else the entire earth would have turned to gold immediately. So gloves would probably work, they’d just be really uncomfortable like all of his clothes.
You’d have to make them out of something very thin or they’d be way too heavy and stiff I’m pretty sure. Or something loose, like chainmail as others have suggested. Which would also mitigate the weight issue.
What if he just put like two giant condoms over his hands
The invention of polyethylene plastic would have made the downsides minimal. Save for the touch of another human but who needs that
Gold chainmail.
