Some girl in a cobalt thought it was time for a repaint. Still have some buffing and cleaning to do.

I've seen shops that don't have great ventilation or a full booth spray the floor. This stops dirt from being stirred up as they walk around the floor.

Doesnt adding water to the floor add moisture into the air.... Wouldnt this affect proper paint adhesion?

But it does look good!!

you usually put it down 20 minutes or so before. The paint should have no problems still sticking as the water in the air is minimal. My dad used to do this when he'd shoot cars for people when i was a kid. When he opened his business doing so he got a booth and now does it that way. But it worked great when he did it this way too. Never had anyone come back with paint issues or warranty and most of his customers are repeats
