Abstract
Abstract Conductive paints are electrostatically sprayed by electrically isolating the electrostatic charge imposed on the atomizing head from the paint supply tank to prevent dissipation of the charge through the conductive paint which is supplied.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A method for electrostatically spraying an electrically conductive aqueous paint comprising supplying an unconfined continuous column of said paint through an intervening air space to an electrically isolated paint reservoir, and then conveying said aqueous paint from said electrically isolated reservoir as a confined column in a paint supply line to an electrostatically charged atomizing device so that said electrostatic charge is conducted back through said paint to the electrically isolated paint reservoir to create a charged field around said reservoir, the paint providing said unconfined continuous column supplied to said reservoir being released to provIde said unconfined column from a point at least about 2 feet above said reservoir.
