Troy, Don't overlook static electricity build up if the vehicle is on rubber tires. The others have offered very good advice. Wet the floors and try to keep the dust down in every reasonable effort. Before rolling in the vehicle, I've usually given the walls and ceiling a blow down with my air gun to knock loose any loose dust, sweep the floor then wet it down. The paint drying on the way to the surface can happen and be sure you're not using too much air. Static is often overlooked. The friction of the air and paint through the hose and gun along with the operator moving around rubbing his clothing will generate static electricity. Often airborne dust will be attracted to the surface due to the static charge. Whenever I try to do a good job on a car, I run a ground wire from the battery ground to the earth ground wire in the building. This will help discharge the static and minimize the static build up.
