Top electrostatic painting services use the Ransburg #2 electrostatic equipment which applies the most static electric charge to the paint over any other electrostatic equipment. The paint is then drawn to the closest conductive, typically metal objects. This process requires minimal protection over the surrounding area, saving labor and protection materials costs. An electrostatic painting service is particularly useful in situations where using conventional spray equipment and protecting large areas nearby would be difficult, time consuming and costly. There are several significant reasons why this painting option is the preferred method for these situations.

1. Less Waste

Electrostatic painting with Ransburg #2 equipment uses less paint than traditional painting methods. Over 95% of the paint actually goes on the item being painted. Less than 5% waste. Virtually no over spray. The paint actually wraps around corners or round shapes because of the static electric charge drawing the paint to the conductive item, instead of flying away as waste. After labor, paint costs are the most expensive cost to a painting contractor. Standard spray painting methods waste between 40% to 60% of the paint compared to painters using a Ransburg #2 electrostatic paint gun. Less waste means lower costs. With commercial and industrial paint costs of $100-$500 per gallon, saving approximately one/half of the cost of the paint and protection materials and labor can be significant for your project's budget.

2. A Better Finish

This highly targeted painting method gives you more consistent results. It's perfect for any application that requires a smooth, even finish on flat, contoured, angled or round surfaces. The process ensures that a uniform, even coat is applied across all surfaces due to the wrapping effect of the statically charged paint drawing to the conductive surface. 

The surface preparation methods used by the application crews and the commercial and industrial coatings are the real difference makers when it comes to the durability of finished product using this application. Each project gets evaluated and our team creates the best surface preparation process and coating system for each project. Properly prepared surfaces and high performance, 2 and 3 component paints will bond better and have a more durable, significantly longer life expectancy than cheaper alternatives. When the look, longevity and durability matters, the combination of the surface preparation, coatings and the Ransburg #2 electrostatic process is simply superior when compared to other methods. There are also no drips or brush marks left behind with electrostatic painting. You get a smooth, near factory appearance that will provide far superior protection from damage caused by the sun, rust, corrosion, etc.

3. Faster Results

Using conventional spray painting methods means spending a significant amount of labor and materials to protect large areas from getting overspray. This is time and money spent on something other than the finished product. These costs are minimized with the electrostatic process. By using the Ransburg #2 electrostatic painting equipment and the 2 and 3 component coatings are cost-saving, time-saving, and delivers a more durable finish. Other methods cannot compare to the results you get from this electrostatic painting process.

4. Durability and Recoating

Other painting applications can cause an uneven finish or build up of paint, and the adhesion failure that can happen over time may create a situation where stripping or removing the existing coating is necessary, which can be very expensive.

An item that has been spray painted electrostatically and has a uniform, durable, even coat of paint that will last for years. Speak with our experts for specific projects and coating and their longevity. Using the correct preparation system and durable, high performance paints coupled with the electrostatic application means that when the time comes to have the item repainted, recoating should be easy and removing the old coating shouldn't be necessary.
