Don't u hate it when you, just get done painting your body and a spider crawls up on the roof and gets stuck in the paint. I had red dried on spider legs on top of my 3 month long 1/12 f40

You might try keeping your work area a little cleaner! B)

Not that my shop is anywhere near sterile, but since the dog and cats left us we have had a huge increase in spider population this year. They are everywhere, but the little flying gnats tend to be the critters that get into my paint jobs.

Increase in the spider population seems to have hit everywhere and with the wife recovering from surgery there is no one her to kill them for me!!!:(

I hated that problem back when I was painting 1:1 cars! Some would make it half way acros a roof befor the paint trapped them. Spiders sure have big feet!!!:o

I feel your pain. I sprayed a body/hood one night, closed the door on my booth. And an hour later went in to find a mosquito hood ornament.

never had spiders do that, but a couple times I've had those tiny little gnats land on a car as I'm trying to paint it outside, and they get stuck. Luckily they were easy to remove by the wings and their tiny little "foot" prints were covered by the next coat of paint.

Had that happen many years ago with an RC body, shot it an acrylic bright yellow/green (I may have been going for Sassy Grass Green with that one) that had a glow in the dark paint mixed into it and I barely got the lexan covered when I'm suddenly in a swarm of these little greenish gnat things that landed in the wet paint, got stuck to the masking tape, and such all well within 5 minutes :)

I still wonder how can a moth, which - consequently - cannot fly in a straight line, manage to land on the hood of a recently sprayed car? And get stuck there all night?

Had that happen to me recently. Ever try to scrape insect guts off a nice shiny hood before throwing it into the Purple bath? Eewwwww.......
