Electrostatic Paint Application
Electrostatic painting is a technique that provides a fine sprayed finish to metal surfaces with a minimum of overspray and material waste. Sharp Painting uses the Ransburg #2 machine.
As you can see from our demo picture, the fence is turning green; the surrounding hardscape is not.
Electro Static is safe and environmentally friendly. Up to 98% of the paint is transferred to the surface, which means we use less paint, less solvents, and have very little overspray compared to conventional and airless spray applications
This process is cleaner and faster than the usual way of painting metal objects on-site. Electro Static can add more life and value to your wrought-iron pool or security fences, metal lockers, and security doors.
How It Works

Painting Demo
A high voltage charge allows a small stream of paint to be spun into a fine mist by the rotating disc at the end of this unusual spray gun.
The metal object to be painted is grounded and as the applicator completes the circuit by activating the gun, the static field transfers the paint to the object being painted. Without the electrical charge the paint would be flung all around.
Material transfer is up to 95% and the wrapping characteristics of this process
allow many objects to be painted form one side with just one pass.
On a typical pool fence ordinary spray applications require four or more passes from different angles and directions. With our method one pass covers 70% to 90% with the balance covered with a final pass. Varying designs and sizes require adjusting the application technique. But, the above example shows the advantage of Ransburg #2 electrostatic spraying system.
Electro Static can add more life and value to your wrought-iron pool or security fences, metal lockers, and security doors.
