How far it travels
Paint overspray is usually caused by spray painting, but roller and brush painting cause it too, and poor filtration in a spray booth is a common factor. Most of the damage we see was accidental: outdoor work, a wind change, or high altitude work on a building.
Airborne emissions can travel up to five hundred metres in windy conditions and cause widespread damage across every vehicle and surface in the path.
What we remove it from
Vehicles, trucks, boats, aircraft and affected buildings. On a fully covered vehicle that includes the moulds, plastics, glass, window trims, lenses, roof racks and every external accessory, not just the painted panels.
- Epoxy, urethane and polyurethane
- Two pack epoxy, cured with a hardener
- Spray paint and aerosol
- Polyurethane foam
Why the paint type changes the job
Different paints bond differently to a vehicle, which changes the process needed to remove them. Two pack epoxy is a very hard paint cured through adding a hardener, and it behaves nothing like a light dusting of water based paint.
Light coverage that does not reach the whole vehicle is a different job again. That is why heavy or full-coverage damage is sighted and assessed before we price it.

Photos tell us the fallout type and how hard it has bonded. That is usually enough to quote. Heavy or full-coverage jobs get sighted first.
