I'm not an expert but I would say he is painting it red because the drivers tail light is taped off and has red overspray on it....

Ha, ha - - Why do all that when you can rattle can it yourself?

The important thing is that tool is wearing scrubs.

Pretty sure thats really illegal too. I believe you have to be certified or licensed with the EPA to paint...and you have to do it in a paint booth.

HA! Ive shot cars outside before and thats not how ya do it. Humidity has to be waay down, as does the wind, has to be shot at about 8am in the morning before the bugs come out, and the wheels have to be covered so you dont end up painting them as well.

Even after eliminating all the factors, the paint job will only be pretty good. There will be something (murphys law) that lands in the first layer of clear so you cant really sand it out - but it can be done.
