Abstract
An apparatus is provided for spray coating an article and includes a housing defining a spray chamber. A spray gun is mounted on the housing for spray coating the article in the spray chamber. A shroud is disposed about the spray gun and defines an air passage between an inside of the shroud and an outside of the spray gun. Heated air is passed through the passage to heat the spray gun and, thereby, heat a coating material passing through the spray gun. A system includes a curing apparatus whereat the article, with the spray coating thereon, is finished by curing the spray coating. The curing apparatus creates an amount of heated air which is fed to the shroud.
