Electrostatic painting refers to electrically charging a paint (positive) as it passes through a sprayer. The surface to be painted is then negatively charged to create an attraction between the positively charged paint and the negatively charged surface.
The benefits of electrostatic painting are huge to the consumer and to the painting contractor. Electrostatic painting has over a 90% adhesion rating, this means very little over spray. It also helps achieve a perfectly smooth paint finish. Another benefit is that the paint is attracted into areas that normal spraying can adequately reach and is impossible to reach with a brush.

Re-Finishing can save large amounts of money. While the up front cost of electrostatic painting may seem high, the cost of replacement is significantly higher. If you run a business that needs to keep a good image, refinishing your office furniture can often times be roughly 10-20% of the cost of new. If you operate a factory that also needs to keep a professional image, re-finishing can be an even better option.
