Abstract: A non-adherence coating is applied to portions of article carriers used in paint and coating operations to prevent the adherence of paint, undercoat or other coatings applied to the articles from accumulating on the carrier and requiring high pressure fluid streams to remove the accumulated paint and coatings. Article contact surfaces on the carrier frames are left uncovered. Substantially all of the remaining portions of the carrier frames are coated with the non-adherence coating which can be fluoropolymer. The non-adherence coating can be a fluropolymer, such as tetrofluropolyethylene. A method of cleaning the article carrier from accumulated but non-adhered paint and/or undercoat uses a low pressure fluid stream.
