GLOSSARY TERM
Overspray
Paint that misses the intended surface and settles elsewhere.
INFO
What it is
Overspray is the fine paint mist that does not land on the target surface during spraying and drifts to settle elsewhere. It is an inherent part of spray application that has to be managed.
Why it matters
Uncontrolled overspray can mark surrounding surfaces, vehicles, and fixtures. Managing it is essential for clean, professional work, especially on site near other property.
Where it is used on a project
A consideration on every spray job, and particularly important on occupied and outdoor sites where adjacent surfaces must be protected.
How NECC approaches it
We control overspray with thorough masking and sheeting, the right equipment, and careful technique, so spraying stays clean and contained even in busy, live environments.
