Abstract
Method including painting a water-based paint onto an article to obtain a water-based paint coat, initially predrying the water-based paint coat by heating with far infrared rays, further predrying the water-based coat by heating with hot air, and thereafter painting either water-based paint or oil-based paint on top of the water-based paint coat. The article can be forcibly cooled with cold air after the further predrying step. The apparatus includes a front-stage paint booth for painting therein a water-based paint to obtain the water-based paint coat, a first predrying chamber in line with and after the front-stage paint booth and having devices for heating with far infrared rays, a second predrying chamber in line with and after the first predrying chamber and having devices for heating with hot air, and a rear-stage paint booth in line with and after the second predrying chamber for painting therein either the water-based paint or the oil-based paint.
