Patent ID: 6929823

Claim:
A process for the high-speed rotary application of a liquid coating agent containing at least one pigment and/or at least one extender onto a substrate, wherein the process comprises the steps: (a) directly supplying at least two liquid components in a specified quantity ratio which determines the qualitative and quantitative composition of the coating agent to at least one high-speed rotary atomizer having a spray edge and said spray edge having a circumferential velocity in the range of 10,000 to 25,000 m/min, (b) high-speed rotary atomizing the components directly supplied in step (a) to the at least one high-speed rotary atomizer and (c) applying the material atomized in step (b) onto a substrate, wherein at least one of the components used in step (a) contains at least one pigment, or at least one extender or a mixture of pigment and extender; further wherein the at least two components of step (a) are homogenized as said components are atomized in step (b) and applied to the substrate in step (c); further wherein said substrate is an automotive body or part thereof.
