METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DELIVERING AND APPLYING AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE PAINT

摘要

The method of applying an electrically conductive paint of this invention includes delivering paint from a color changer (30) at ground potential, then electrically isolating the color changer (30) from the paint in a delivery line (100), and then delivering the paint through a first delivery line (74) to an electrically charged paint applicator (27). In the disclosed embodiment, paint is delivered from the color changer (30) to a paint cannister (34) having a piston (56) and the piston (56) is then extended to drive paint through the delivery tube (74) to the applicator (27) while the paint cannister (34) is electrically isolated from the color changer (30).
