A relatively high speed, continuous method and novel apparatus, especially adapted to large diameter steel pipe, for applying external thin-mill coatings, such as thermal setting epoxy and epoxy resins, wherein the pipe sections are successively advanced in a train and continuously rotated through numerous operating stations, and embodying a change-over from an external roller drive line to an internal conveyor system. The pipe overhead suspension system permits even mill coating over the complete surface of the pipe and precludes damage to the coating during curing and while it is in the critical fluid state.
