Meaning and boundaries
Overspray can differ from a direct paint splash in particle size, curing, binder, and coverage. The coating type and age determine removal behavior.
Why it matters in glass restoration
Dried paint can tempt scraping that scratches heat-treated or coated glass, while solvents can affect seals, coatings, films, and adjacent materials.
