    I doubt that. If the way you’re applying paint means you’re losing so much to the air that you could damage nearby property, you might want to rethink your method. Paint is expensive.

      When spray painting you want to control the wind as it WILL waste a lot of your paint and will interfere with the evenness of the paint application. And prevent outside dust from ruining your fresh paint coat.

      You would be very surprised to know how little paint it takes to damage shit. My uncle owns a painting business, and he’s complained so many times about having to go back out to a site to fix an over spray issue where it’s just little flecks of paint where it wasn’t supposed to be.

      And that’s at ground level/inside. Imagine how much worse those issues would be if you were accidentally dispersing paint over a decent area around you. Plus, since it’s falling paint, you run the risk of hitting windshields and shit.
