Abstract: A method of and apparatus for collecting overspray materials from an article coating station wherein a velocity differential in the air stream of the duct system employed selectively transports and effects removal of solids from the overspray materials. A secondary filter removes fine mist and powdered coatings from the overspray. One section of the duct system is preferably made from disposable materials and a removable liner is preferably used in a collecting receptacle to facilitate clean up operations after the coating is completed.
