The fixture has a hollow core member and a plurality of workpiece receptacles positioned along the length of and about the periphery of the core member. Each of the workpiece receptacles comprises an open sided workpiece support structure and a cover for closing the open side of the support structure. During the coating operation, the fixture of the present invention is rotated about its longitudinal axis while the workpieces being coated remain stationary within the receptacles.
