You’ll miss lots of nooks and crannies because you can’t convince the air currents to blow in every conceivable way to move paint around. You air movement apparatus will take on much of the paint, probably causing it to function in much less than an ideal manner. There are challenges with keeping the paint wet while moving it with air pressure.

You could probably get VC funding to solve these problems and then you’d be onto something.

Depending on how paint "wears out" maybe the parts you would miss are the parts that don't really need to be repainted.

I don't think there's any part of the structure that doesn't need repainted, or rain/dust will get in and tear it apart over decades.
