    To prevent paint from spreading to previously unpainted portions of the vehicle, proper painting techniques include masking certain regions. The paint booth must include a downdraft system with floor exhaust blowers to remove paint particles from unwelcome areas of the vehicle. The suction action of a downdraft system removes any floating debris. Paint, solvents and other shop materials may be saved by using an appropriate ventilation system in a paint booth.
