How do I paint an airplane with an electrostatic paint gun?
I am a retired aircraft painter.

For electrostatic painting: ensure that the aircraft is grounded; ensure that you are grounded to the gun; use compatible electrostatic paint, this is a must.

My suggestion is, unless you are greatly concern about overspraying, to use a normal system on small aircraft, such as suction fed or gravity fed, as it will do the same job. Application is the same for all systems.

Hope this helps
