You would be very surprised to know how little paint it takes to damage shit. My uncle owns a painting business, and he's complained so many times about having to go back out to a site to fix an over spray issue where it's just little flecks of paint where it wasn't supposed to be.
And that's at ground level/inside. Imagine how much worse those issues would be if you were accidentally dispersing paint over a decent area around you. Plus, since it's falling paint, you run the risk of hitting windshields and shit.
