How can a technician prevent overspray from occurring on a vehicle to be refinished?

What will be an ideal response?


Overspray can take many forms, but generally it is spray dust that settles on areas of the vehicle not protected by masking. It can settle on horizontal surfaces such as an
unprotected roof or deck lid. It can also find its way under masking that has not been properly taped closed. Some technicians include as overspray any finish that has settled on molding, lights, or chrome that was not properly protected by mask. Primer overspray may also be found on tires and inside of wheel openings. If a technician does not take the same precautions when masking for primer as when masking for painting, primer
overspray may find its way into areas such as jambs, wheel openings, tires, hoods, trunks, and gas filler doors. Overspray may appear as a dull or dirty film on unprotected finish. It may look like a dull rough area on glass; it will have a rough feeling that will not wipe off with window cleaners or wax and grease removers. Overspray that is allowed to get on the interior parts may be difficult to remove.
