Abstract

A substantially vertical surface of an object such as a vertical rear surface of an automotive body is coated in a coating booth in which a fluid such as air is supplied a downward direction to forcibly lower a mist of floating paint particles. Paint spray guns for ejecting paint sprays are positioned perpendicularly to the vertical surface. Then, the paint spray guns are displayed with respect to the vertical surface in a direction against the downward direction in which the fluid is supplied, while ejecting paint sprays from the paint spraying means to coat the vertical surface.
