  ICS on Spray Painting
Although brushing and rolling are the most efficient methods of transferring paint from the container to the surface, spray painting is the most cost efficient method of applying paint.
For larger production, the paint may be placed in a separate closed container which is connected to a pressure source with one hose and to the spray gun with another hose.
The paint is attracted to the grounded object and will actually turn in the air and collect (also known as wrap) onto the surfaces of the work farthest away from the spray gun.

 Conventional spray painting, atomised coatings   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Spray plants are now produced in various sizes, ranging from the small portable plant, which can be easily carried about from job to job, to the big plant, mounted on a truck, from which a battery of spray guns may be operated.
Spray plant consists of a number of units, among the most important of which is the compressor, the function of which is to supply an adequate volume of air at the right pressure.
Spray guns vary in design according to their make, but if the diagram on page 6x of a sectional view of a spray gun is studied, it should not be difficult to understand the principles upon which the gun works.

 Basics of Spray Painting   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
For a conventional spray gun, the required fluid pressure in the paint pot is based on delivering a certain amount of paint through the hoses to the paint gun tip.
Assuming that several paints are intended for the same end use, it is important to consider overall theoretical coverage and solvent content in addition to cost per gallon and performance.
Transfer efficiency is compromised because the spray gun is never at the correct distance from the surface or may be held at an angle to reach a surface.

 Spray Painting and Coating Waste Reduction Alternatives - MnTAP
A disadvantage to conventional spray is that a high degree of atomization is accompanied by a very fine spray that is highly susceptible to overspray.
Paint is pumped at high pressure through a small opening at the spray tip to achieve atomization.
As paint is sprayed the electrical charge draws it to the part, which results in higher transfer efficiency.
