Having a home painted on the outside?
When having your home professionally painted ( I assume with a gun ) how far can the fine mist travel? I realize there are varying factors, but am looking for a generalized answer. Typically how many feet?
Thanks

Painters will take every precaution from overspray as they are responsible and accountable.
On a windy day I have seen overspray from soffits go over buildings and mist coat cars some 100 feet away.
A little heads up… and question to ask your painters. Ask them if they back roll when they spray.
This is something I require from all the painting contractors when doing homes, it extends the longevity of the job; although not as much so when shooting a nonporous job

it all depends if there is little wind it won’t be too bad but if the wind really kicks up the mist can really travel I have sprayed houses with just a spray shield with no wind and had great success and I have tried to spray houses when the wind was blowing a bit that was a waste of time it also depend on the pressure that he is operating the sprayer at if adjusted properly you will have less over spray
