An electrostatic coating system includes an improved spray gun which is connected in fluid communication with a source of electrostatically charged electrically conductive liquid coating material. An electrically nonconductive coating material tube is disposed in an electrically conductive handle portion of the spray gun and extends into an electrically nonconductive barrel or extension portion of the spray gun. The coating material tube is preformed to and maintains a configuration corresponding to a configuration of a passage in the handle and extension portions of the spray gun. A packing cartridge is connected between the trigger and the spray gun valve and has a tapered end portion which is encircled by an O-ring seal which engages a tapered bore in the extension portion of the spray gun. The handle portion of the spray gun is grounded through a conductive inner layer of an air conduit connected to the spray gun. An atomizing air passage extends from the handle portion of the spray gun through the extension portion to the nozzle. A pattern air passage also extends from the handle portion through the extension portion to the nozzle. Thumb wheel operated air flow control valve assemblies are located in the atomizing air and pattern air passages. A pattern air shut-off valve is installed in series with the pattern air flow control valve to quickly shut off the flow of pattern air. The gun is very light weight but effectively protects the operator from electric shock. Charged conductive coating material is supplied up the handle of the gun through a nonconductive fitting installed into the bottom of the handle. A floating field electrode, comprised of the metal valve shaft of the spray gun valve, has a tapered point located in the spray gun nozzle to strengthen the electrostatic field, and thereby improve the efficiency of the electrostatic coating system.
