Abstract
Abstract A washing solution for a color-change washing which contains a medium-boiling and/or high-boiling true solvent having a boiling point of 100° C. or more, and a color-change washing method using that washing solution. In rotary type electrostatic spray coating devices in which a non-aqueous dispersion paint and a titanium dioxide pigment-incorporated paint are used in combination, the washing solution and method are advantageously used as they remove contamination and clogging of the coating device and reduce fire hazards.
