Interested in an informed comment on the paint application part. How do they keep those spray rooms clean from paint? I noticed the robots were covered up to protect against the spray but the floor was pristine.

The floor is open grating above a pool of water that is pumped to reclaim the solids. Further the paint is electrostatically charged as it comes off the bell applicator so it is attracted to the body like a balloon to the wall.
Thanks. Was wondering about electrostatic myself. Still wondering how the grate itself doesn't get stained due to the air flow.
