Abstract: An electrophoretic coating for a non-cylindrical component, such as a faucet, utilizes a flexible anode and sleeve assembly. The flexible anode and sleeve assembly may be inserted into the interior of the faucet, and can bend around the non-cylindrical shape. The coating may then be applied within the interior of the component.

Abstract: Described is a method of coating a metallic substrate comprising: providing a metallic substrate; applying an electrocoating composition by a cathodic electrocoating process to the substrate; and applying to the electrocoated substrate an aqueous coating composition comprised of a siloxane material. Also described is the product produced by the process having improved hardness, adhesion, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance and appearance.
