An automotive body delivered in a direction, and covers such as an engine hood and a trunk lid and doors of the automotive body are opened and held in an open position. Thereafter, prescribed areas of the automotive body are coated, and those doors which are located downstream with respect to the direction in which the automotive body is delivered and those areas of the automotive body which correspond to those doors which are located upstream with respect to the same direction, are coated. Thereafter, the covers and the doors of the automotive body are closed.

Apparatus for coating automotive body

A paint discharge control device includes a housing having a paint supply port and a paint discharge port defined therein, a paint passage through which the paint supply and discharge ports communicate with each other, a diaphragm disposed in the paint passage and actuatable by air under pressure for controlling the rate of a paint flow through said paint passage, a piston slidably disposed in the housing and having a hole defined therein as part of the paint passage, and a needle valve supported in the housing and having a portion disposed in the hole in the piston. The paint passage includes a paint discharge control passageway defined between the hole and the needle valve portion. The cross-sectional area of the paint discharge control passageway can be varied in response to sliding movement of the piston in the housing.
