Abstract
An electrostatic painting method includes steps of: attaching a grounded clip to an insulating workpiece; spraying water-based paint to the workpiece while moving a paint gun from a position where the painting has started in a predetermined direction to form a first band-like painting film; spraying the water-based paint to the workpiece while moving the paint gun to thereby form a second band-like painting film, in which the second band-like painting film is formed in parallel to the first painting film, and a part of the second band-like painting film overlaps the first painting film. An amount of overlap between the first and second painting films is within a range previously determined based on an influence on the water-based paint sprayed when the second painting film is formed that causes the water-based paint sprayed to be attracted to the grounded first painting film.
