A method and apparatus for electrostatically applying a layer of coating material to a moving substrate. In a preferred embodiment, a threaded shaft formed of dielectric material, having one end thereof coupled to a drive motor, has a portion of its threads mounted for rotation through a bath of coating material. An electrostatic field of predetermined magnitude is established between the coating material and a substrate surface spaced therefrom. The electrostatic field atomizes coating material accumulating on the ridge portion of the rotating thread and subsequently deposits a layer of the atomized coating material on the adjacent substrate surface as it is moved past the rotating dielectric thread at a predetermined angle with respect to the axis of rotation of the threaded shaft.
