Focusing on industrial coatings applied to manufactured durable goods, this text describes every step in the automated liquid paint application process, particularly spray guns used in containment booths. The opening chapters discuss chemical cleaners for surface preparation, conversion coatings, washing systems, paint components, paint classification, fixation, curing, and color matching. Black and white drawings illustrate spray gun components, delivery systems, electrostatic systems, rotary atomizers, proper spray stroke, booth design, and surface defects.
