Robots 16a, 16b, 16c which are able to be motion trained and controlled by controller 18 are established in close proximity to transport line 12. A roller mechanism 34 with a roller 48 made from a material which absorbs and holds protective layer forming material is established at the tip end of each robot 16a, 16b, 16c. Protective layer forming material uses an acrylic type copolymer material which forms a peelable protective layer when dried. Controller 18 records the training data which trains robots 16a, 16b, 16c to rotate and move so that roller 48 contacts vehicle 14, and vehicle 14 which has finished with painting is introduced; robots 16a, 16b, 16c are made to move according to the training data, protective layer forming material is supplied to roller 48, and protective layer forming material is applied to vehicle 14. To automate the process of applying protective layer forming material, to improve production efficiency, to simplify operations, and to make application quality consistent.
