Electro Painting & Refurbishing, Inc. FAQ

Since 1999, EPR has provided consistent, quality workmanship throughout the United States. We achieve this with local staff and the ability to utilize personnel and manufacturing resources from our six locations to complete your electrostatic painting project.

Most manufacturers' color choices are available. EPR can also purchase proprietary fabrics from the manufacturer.

This makes EPR your one-stop on-site electrostatic painting and office furniture refurbishing provider.

Electrostatic painting is the spray process used to apply paint coatings to metal with virtually no overspray. Atomized paint particles are positively charged and are drawn to grounded metal objects. Atomization occurs due to centrifugal force rather than air assistance.  

The electrostatic process comes with multiple benefits. There is a 95% greater transfer efficiency of the coatings which minimizes overspray and allows a factory-equivalent finish to be applied on the job site. A variety of OEM-equivalent, low VOC paint coatings can be applied electrostatically. These include two-component epoxies, polyurethanes, and fluoro-polymers. These coatings chemically “bake” to provide a durable finish without the use of ovens to “force cure” the paint.   

See “The Paint” section on our Recycling page for more details. The electrostatic spray process provides uniform film thickness and consistent coating performance. The static charge creates a “wrap around” effect that provides improved paint coverage.

EPR offers many environmentally friendly or “green” products and services. Since the company’s inception in 1999, EPR has helped keep over 100,000 semi-trailers of office furniture from being landfilled. This was achieved by refurbishing used office furniture for the new and used office furniture dealers nationally. There are many other industries that have received benefits from the electrostatic painting services and materials EPR provides.

Electrostatic painting with Ransburg #2 equipment is the most efficient spray process used to apply paint coatings to metal and other conductive substrates without creating overspray. Atomized paint particles are positively charged and are drawn to grounded metal objects. Atomization occurs due to centrifugal force and the electrostatic charge rather than air being introduced at the tip.  

There is other, less efficient electrostatic spray process equipment available that can apply paint at a faster rate.  When the project demands, EPR uses a variety of electrostatic and non-electrostatic spray processes to provide the best value finish for our clients.

In addition to electrostatic painting, EPR provides wholesale refurbishing services to used office furniture dealers who keep an inventory and can provide wholesale-refurbished office furniture to our dealer customers who don’t keep an inventory.

When needed, EPR uses a network of office furniture brokers and dealers nationally to locate and provide the furniture and perform the refurbishing in the nearest location to the dealer.  

EPR provides this wholesale service exclusively to office furniture dealers. For all businesses that need office furniture or that have excess furniture to dispose of or sell, EPR can recommend used-office furniture brokers and dealers to provide and/or purchase office furniture.
