Overspray refers to the application of any form of paint, varnish, stain or other non-water-soluble airborne particulate material onto an unintended location.
[1] This concept is most commonly encountered in graffiti, auto detailing, and when commercial paint jobs drift onto unintended objects.
Overspray is considered a negative occurrence in auto detailing when unwanted drifting paint gets on cars.
There are companies that are solely dealing with overspray and offering additional protection to cars while painting.
[citation needed] There are many manufacturers of such bars, including: Meguiars, 3M, Clay magic, Mothers.
