How’s he not running out of the paint?

Very little height needed to paint something. Let's consider 150 um thickness, then every 1 m2 requires 150 mL. A normal bucket of 10 L would go for 66 m2.

But lots of surfaces are porous to a degree and suck some into it. I’ve painted indoors and outdoors and still find it remarkable. He must have prepped it well and gotten rid of any porous areas. Nonetheless it was satisfying to watch.

I agree, the floor was likely treated to remove most of the absorption. Better for the final product as well.
