Electrostatic Painting. Wasn=92t quite sure when it became a normal process=
but there was a bit on the net to explain it. My take on its use on Austin=
Healeys is that it wasn=92t used. If it had been used the amount and loca=
tion of rust on our cars would not be same as what we experience.

Reference below:
The first U.S. patent for the electrostatic painting process was awarded to=
Harold Ransburg in the late 1940=92s. Electrostatic spray painting was an =
immediate success as manufacturers quickly perceived the substantial materi=
als savings that could be achieved. With the addition of manufacturing and =
research operations in Europe and Japan, Ransburg expanded on a global leve=
l over the next 20 years. The steady growth was complemented by an increasi=
ng reputation for innovative and effective technology.
Electrostatic coating is a manufacturing process that employs charged parti=
cles<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charged_particle> to more efficiently pai=
nt a workpiece. Paint, in the form of either powdered particles or atomized=
liquid, is initially projected towards a conductive workpiece using normal=
spraying methods, and is then accelerated toward the workpiece by a powerf=
ul electrostatic charge<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge>.
After the charging is finished, and the setup is done, the painting can tak=
e place. The paint with a positive charge is sprayed onto the metal object =
and grabs on easily to the metal=92s surface. The attraction from the oppos=
ing charges is so strong that even if just one side of a metal pole is spra=
yed, the charge will automatically draw the paint around the metal, coverin=
g its entire surface.

Subject: [Healeys] Factory body/ frame primer
Hello all. I have noticed my BN2 has black factory primer (possible single =
stage paint that body color was painted over when assembled- much like elet=
ro coat primer that repo parts have on them). All later cars (BN4 on) that =
I have had experience with had red oxide primer used from the factory. Doe=
s anyone know was there a switch point? Were all 100's primered black? Were=
all cars eletro coated, and later cars primed with red oxide additionally?=
Was elctro coating even a thing back then? Just curious.
