Electrostatic spray refinishes metal where it stands. The paint is charged, the object is grounded, and the coating wraps around rails, edges and back faces instead of drifting past them. Lockers, handrails, elevator doors and partitions go back into service without being removed from the building.
The spray gun puts a positive charge on the paint particles as they leave the tip. The metal being painted is grounded. Opposite charges attract, so the particles are pulled onto the surface and around it. That attraction is what people call the wrap: a single pass coats the front of a round handrail and much of the back, and edges that a brush or a conventional sprayer would miss pick up an even film.
Because the paint is pulled toward the target instead of floating in the air, overspray is far lower than with conventional spraying. Less overspray means less masking, less cleanup and less paint wasted.

These are different processes and they are often confused. Powder coating is a dry powder applied in a shop and cured in an oven, so the part has to be removed and taken to the shop. Electrostatic painting is liquid paint sprayed on site, so the item stays installed. If an item can be unbolted and it will take heavy abuse, a shop powder coat may suit it. If it is fixed to the building, or the building cannot be without it, electrostatic is the practical choice. Powder coating service: [[ NEEDS: does Lazarre powder coat, yes or no ]]

No. Electrostatic painting is done in place. Items are cleaned, prepped and masked where they are installed.
Yes. Work is sectioned so the rest of the space stays in use, and it can be scheduled after hours or on weekends.
Overspray is low and the coatings cure quickly, so many areas return to service the same day. Exact times depend on the coating and conditions and are written into the scope.
No. Powder coating is a dry powder baked in a shop oven. Electrostatic painting is wet paint applied on site with a charged spray.
Low-odor coatings are available for occupied spaces. Ventilation and timing are planned in the scope.
