Abstract: In a coating, line a first substrate such as a vehicle body, made of a steel plate, is coated separately from a second substrate made of a different material including a plastic, such as vehicle parts, i.e., bumpers and so on, and the parts are assembled with the vehicle body. The vehicle body and parts are coated separately to form each a highly reflective surface coating. The coating is implemented by a spraying step for spraying the paint on them to form a coat; and a drying step for drying the coat. The paint is sprayed in the spraying step in a film thickness which is thicker than a thickness at which the paint sags on a surface extending at least upwardly and downwardly.

Abstract: In the coating method containing a coating step for coating a substrate with a paint and a drying step for drying the paint coated thereon, the paint is sprayed on a side extending in an up-and-downward direction and a side extending a horizontal direction in the coating step in such a manner that it is coated in a given film thickness on the horizontally extending side and in a film thickness on the up-and-downwardly extending side, which is thicker than its sagging limit thickness in which it sags. The coating is effected such that the coating on the up-and-downwardly extending side is finished at the same time as or subsequent to the coating on the horizontally extending side.In the drying step, the substrate is rotation about its horizontal axis extending in a horizontal and longitudinal direction of the substrate during a period of time from before the paint sags to until it is cured to a sagless state.
