Abstract

An outer surface of an object such as an automotive vehicle body is painted by conveying the object in one direction, moving a painting apparatus in a direction opposite to the one direction, and applying a paint coating to the outer surface of the object from the painting apparatus. The painting apparatus includes a plurality of paint spray guns which are displaceable in a direction transverse to the direction in which the object is conveyed. The paint spray guns are directed substantially perpendicularly to and spaced a predetermined distance from the surface of the object.
