Electrostatic coating is a manufacturing process that employs charged parti=
cles to more efficiently paint a workpiece. Paint, in the form of either po=
wdered particles or atomized liquid, is initially projected towards a condu=
ctive workpiece using normal spraying methods, and is then accelerated towa=
rd the workpiece by a powerful electrostatic charge.
After the charging is finished, and the setup is done, the painting can tak=
e place. The paint with a positive charge is sprayed onto the metal object =
and grabs on easily to the metal=E2=80=99s surface. The attraction from the=
opposing charges is so strong that even if just one side of a metal pole i=
s sprayed, the charge will automatically draw the paint around the metal, c=
overing its entire surface.

Subject: [Healeys] Factory body/ frame primer
Hello all. I have noticed my BN2 has black factory primer (possible single =
stage paint that body color was painted over when assembled- much like elet=
ro coat primer that repo parts have on them). All later cars (BN4 on) that =
I have had experience with had red oxide primer used from the factory.=C2=
=A0 Does anyone know was there a switch point? Were all 100's primered blac=
k? Were all cars eletro coated, and later cars primed with red oxide additi=
onally? Was elctro coating even a thing back then? Just curious.
TY. Shawn
The Millers
