  • Method for painting an engine
    Patent number: 5223104
    Abstract: A method for painting an engine by the electrocoating process includes coating preselected components of the engine with an electrically nonconductive ceramic material prior to assembly, and pressurizing the engine prior to immersion in an electrically charged paint bath.The method is particularly useful for avoiding paint deposition on preselected components, such as the hot exhaust elements, of an engine. A thermal insulating and corrosion resistant coating for the preselected components is thus provided, and undesirable paint burnoff during subsequent engine operation is avoided.
