Electrostatics be used to paint something other than metal? if so, will you get the same benefits as spraying metal electrostatically ?

Electrostatic spraying can be used to paint a variety of surfaces other than metal. However, some surfaces may require pretreatment with chemical sensitizers to create a conductive surface for the electrostatic charge to be attracted to. For example, some plastics, wood, and ceramics may require a conductive primer or the use of a metal object placed behind the part to create a ground image for attraction.

The electrostatic charge in the paint causes it to be attracted to any conductive surface, whether it is metal, plastic, or wood. For non-conductive surfaces, a conductive primer can be applied first, or the piece can be placed between the applicator and a conductive grounded surface. This allows the electrostatic charge to be conducted through the surface and attract the paint particles to it, resulting in a more precise and efficient application.
