What are these blue spray-painted squares?

Does anyone know what these blue spray painted markings are for? A young man painted these on our residential street this morning. He was walking around with a white 5 gallon bucket, blue spray paint and an outline. He would walk up and down the street and paint (seemingly) random spots. Then he spent about 3hrs just hanging out in a common area. My first thought was that he was with utilities or similar, but when he hung around for so long it didn't seem like he was on the job.

My daughter was home and saw this but did not feel comfortable going out to ask.

Thanks!

planning to paint these for a birthday party. do i really need to sand them?

i have a few of these plastic cones i want to spray paint pink and purple. do i REALLY need to sand them, or will it be fine to just paint them as is?

i’m not worried about longevity, they’ll likely be tossed or donated after the party

Sketch for spray painting & some questions

I'm new to spray painting, did my first piece the other day. I used a doodle grid, and thought I'd do that with this too.

Now, I decided to make this sketch with spray painting in mind from the start, and this was the result.

I used alcohol markers, as that was what I hade at home.

Would you do a full sketch like this in preparation for a spray paint job?And would it be better to use something like posca-markers to simulate the opacity of spray paint? I was thinking about it, but then you couldn't really do gradients at all, right?

And lastly, does this look conducive to spray painting? Any pit falls I've stepped ​​in?

What is the most financial damage you can cause with a single can of spray paint?

Rules:
\- you have 24 hours
\- no advance prep time. You start where you normally wake up
\- you can only spray paint things a regular person has access to. I can’t get into some secret laboratory, so you probably can’t either.
\- no works of art, just in the interest of keeping this idea sporting. Can’t spray the Mona Lisa and call it $500M in damage
\- once the single can of spray paint is out, you’re time is up
\- we assume you can get arrested for your actions. If you get arrested, your time ends
\- people and bodily harm don’t count. That’s not financial damage, that’s just being an asshole
\- you have to use the spray paint as intended. Can’t use it as a blowtorch/ explosive. You just spray the paint on things.

Do I add a clear coat now or after the other colour?

Hey guys! I’m currently spray painting an old guitar of mine and want to go for this white style with black accents (see second image made by AI for the sake of this question).

The finish I’m going for is wet sanding (2000-4000 grit)
Then a clear matte coat and then another wet sanding (same grit)
Is this a good idea? Is there a chance the two colours will merge and make a mess?
Any tips will be helpful! Thanks!

There are about 4-5 coats of white now, it has been sanded before spraying.

How to spray paint over powder coated lamp?

This might be too difficult/not worth it, but I figured asking here was worth a shot!

I have this ikea lamp (full name is IKEA PS 2017 Table & Floor Lamp G1517F By Ola Wihlborg). I believe the material is powder coated steel.

I would love to spray paint it to be chrome/silver. From googling I’ve read that I should sand it and then use an enamel based spray paint, but a lot of what I could find is just companies advertising their own products.

Any advice?

Montana gold spitting

Is this droplet spitting normal for Montana gold paints? Both my cans, different colors, brand new, are doing it. It sprays fine for like half a second then spits like crazy. Temperature and humidity are normal, can has been stored at 65 and brought to room temp at 75 by sitting in garage for 1 hour. Shaken multiple times, tried different brand new nozzles, no luck. After cleaning the nozzle the behavior repeats almost immediately
