Abstract
A system and method for electrostatic coating of articles with paint particularly suited for coating irregular surfaces from a substantial distance. Water-borne conductive paint may be handled from an electrically grounded supply. Plural paint particle charging mechanisms are established by a DC potential applied to an electrode physically divorced from the paint stream. The articles being coated are electrically charged.
