Frequently Asked Questions
What is Overspray?
Overspray occurs when any airborne contaminant falls on a surface and the particles are not easily washed off.
Most overspray is paint that has been blown by the wind from commercial and industrial paint jobs such as from bridges, water towers, cranes and other large and inconveniently located outdoor areas that need painting. Of course the paint source can be from anywhere painting is being done. When that airborne paint lands on to an unintended surface, that is overspray.
Overspray on a vehicle is not always visible. Often it is first noticed as rough little bumps on a vehicle surface or on a windshield. If you wash the car and these bumps don't come off with a gentle rub of your finger tip, and when you look very closely you see little dots on the surface, then you probably have overspray.

Other common overspray problems result from material being blown from work sites, such as:
- Grinding dust
- Industrial fallout usually coming from smoke stacks, commonly in the form of ferric oxide, post-combustion, or stack waste
- Wet road striping
- Industrial bag burst from an air filter or dust collector
- Roofing projects causing petrochemicals such as tar and asphalt to become airborne
