electropainting, electrophoretic painting
A process used to apply the first coat of paint (primer) on the bodies of cars.
The process involves using negatively charged paint particles (anodic electropainting) or positively charged paint particles (cathodic electropainting).
The cleaned metal parts to be coated are immersed in a tank of electrodeposition paint, and the current is turned on, so that the paint particles are attracted by the positively charged paint particles.

electrostatic painting, electrostatic spraying
1.A technique of spraying in which the material being sprayed is given a high electrical charge, while the test piece is grounded.
2. A procedure used in painting which uses the particle-attracting property of electrostatic charges.
2. A procedure used in painting which uses the particle-attracting property of electrostatic charges.
The direct current of about 100,000 volts is applied to a grid of wires through which the paint is sprayed to charge each particle and the metal objects to be sprayed are connected to the opposite terminal of the high-voltage circuit, so they attract the particles of paint.
