The object being coated is maintained at
ground potential, the spray applicator operator
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.

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,
