Abstract
A method of applying a coating to the inside surface of a double-curved shell circular in horizontal section. Apparatus having a work platform for coating equipment is positioned in the shell. The work platform is displaceable on extendable and retractable legs so that it can move vertically and horizontally so as to be positioned adjacent the shell. As the apparatus is rotated about its vertical axis a coating is applied from the work platform to the shell surface as a horizontal band extending circumferentially around the shell surface. By extending or retracting the legs, the work platform can be positioned adjacent an area of the shell surface which has not been coated and that area coated as described.
