Yep. Plus they can be slippery as hell when laid on the floor.
Been painting cars and varnishing wooden boats for 40 plus years now. (Can't believe it's been that long). Wet down the floor. And just be careful that you don't drag your air hose across it and get it wet so it drips on to your roof or hood.
I tend to hold the gun in my right hand and run the hose behind my back and hold the hose with the other hand. Keeps the hose away from the car.
