Abstract
A coating frame, a coating system, and methods of coating a component using one or more coating frames are disclosed. The coating frame includes a frame member and at least one bracket coupled to the frame member. The bracket includes at least one hanger attachment point extending into a hollow interior of the at least one bracket. The at least one bracket isolates the at least one hanger attachment point from a coating material when the coating frame is used in a coating process. The method includes suspending a component from the coating frame, conveying the coating frame and the component to a coating applicator, and applying a coating material to the coating frame and the component while isolating the at least one hanger attachment point from the coating material via an air pocket formed within the at least one bracket.
