Abstract
According to the invention, different coloured and/or different types of flocks ( ) are applied to cover or flock-coat profiled joints or other profiled sections ( ) in predetermined areas in a coating station ( ) at the very moment when the required holes and separating cuts are made in the cutting and drilling station ( ). The flock cabin ( ) is divided up in to partial cabins ( ) by means of partitions ( ) which can be displaced in a corresponding manner towards the profiled section ( ) or brought tightly against it. Instead of the above-mentioned partitions ( ) or in addition to the partitions ( ), axially separating partitions ( ) extending in a longitudinal direction of the profiled section ( ) are provided. The inventive method enables various coating areas ( ) to be obtained on one single profiled section. This makes it possible, for instance, to adapt precisely defined areas, e.g., joint elements in a car body, to the colour of the car or fittings.
