I painted a small plane in a T hangar many years ago.
Overspray drifted into the two adjacent hangars and for a while I
thought I was going to have to pay for TWO additional professional paint
jobs.

BELIEVE what Mike says about overspray drifting like you would never
believe!

(We got the overspray off of one Bonanza because it had a nice new paint
job. We got the overspray off the other Bonanza because it had an old
dull paint job and its owner was pleased at his new shiny wings!)

Now, cross your fingers that the new paint will adhere to the substrate.
99 times out of 100 it will. The trick to modern urethanes is to NOT
paint the rest of the airport because the stuff sticks to EVERYTHING
that is not covered in oil or dirt. The blacktop or concrete you paint
on will forever be the color of the plane. If you don't want that. put
down tarps within a 50 FOOT radius of the plane. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS
ON THE CAN TO THE LETTER.
