Just to mention. A guy in town who years ago mentored me in shooting Harley
custom paint jobs (I currently focus completely on restoring vintage
guitars). . . this guy shoots all his bike parts in his garage.
I built a walk in spray booth on the side of the house. . but this fellow
uses his garage.
He keeps the floor wet and shuts the garage door down on top of a fan. .
nothing else.
He runs the fan for 15 minutes before he paints.
His jobs are perfect and he has won many awards for his work.
I asked him about all the crap on the floor of the garage, around the edges,
dust and stuff. His answer, "No problem unless I stir it up. . which I
don't."
I have a garden hose running full time to the floor of my booth when I shoot
and from my experience, a wet floor makes a big difference in keeping nibs
out of the paint and the clear coats.
A small car of course is a larger object than a guitar or bike tanks and
fenders. . but it seems to me that the wet floor plays the biggest role in
keeping the nibs off the job.
An auto body shop I am familiar with in town also keeps the floor wet in
their booth.
Just a some random thoughts on the subject!
