A guard for a membrane electrode cell in an electrocoat paint system that separates the counter-electrode, the object being painted, from the membrane shell housing that surrounds the electrode, which is located inside the membrane. The guard is of a grid-like structure with openings that have rounded edges and allows for the flow of electricity between the electrode and the counter-electrode and for a substantially continuous flow of paint particles around the membrane electrode cell. The guard is made from a durable, flexible, non-conducting material that is impervious to the temperature conditions and acids, solvents and other compounds often found in electrocoating paint baths. Embodiments of the present invention include an externally affixed guard, an integral guard and a rigid membrane guard.
