Abstract :
Techniques for painting insulating surfaces by electrostatic painting (a technique currently used to paint conducting objects, but not applicable to insulators) are discussed. Several ionizers have been tested, and good painting has been obtained, provided that the flows of paint and ionized air are well separated. The possibility of self-creation of ionized air by the voltage of the early paint deposit has also been successfully tested.<>
