> The object being coated is maintained at
ground potential, the spray applicator oper-
ator is also grounded, therefore, the operator
has as much attraction for the electrostatic
paint as the object. To prevent "wrapback"
always keep the applicator closer to the target
than it is to you.

APPLICATOR TO TARGET
DISTANCE
The distance between the applicator and the target
influences the appearance of the final finish coating
of the object. If the applicator is held too close
(under 4-inches), runs and sags with the excessive
bounce-back can occur. If the applicator is held
too far from the object, the electrostatic attraction is
decreased. Normally, the best spacing between
applicator and target is in the 4 to 12-inch area.
However, this distance can vary with extremely
high delivery systems. Maximum target distance
should not exceed 12-inches.
