Abstract
A method of applying a coating composition to a substrate utilizing a high transfer efficiency applicator is disclosed and provides coated article. The high transfer efficiency applicator comprises a plurality of nozzles, each being configured to apply a stream or stream of droplets of the coating composition to a substrate substantially without atomization, and an infrared emitter. The method includes providing a coating composition for overspray-free application to the high transfer efficiency applicator, and applying the coating composition via disposing a plurality of lines of the coating composition onto the substrate via the plurality of nozzles. The method also includes irradiating the coating composition via the infrared emitter during and/or after application to give an irradiated coating composition, and thereby form an overspray free coating layer on the substrate.
