  • Method of splatter painting a rotating object
    Patent number: 5340610
    Abstract: An object is splatter painted by painting the object with a basic paint, coating the painted surface with a clear polymer, rotating and heating the object, applying paint to the clear polymer coat by a slinging action while the clear polymer is still tacky to receive the paint from the slinging action and have the slung paint become imbedded in the tacky polymer coat and merge with the polymer to provide a smooth finish, allowing the slung paint to completely dry, and applying a coat of clear polymer over the completely dry surface. The paint can be slung from a pointed rod which has been dipped in a paint supply.
