However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the cleaning water is intermittently supplied to the rotating cup. Therefore, when a high voltage is directly applied to the water-based paint in order to perform electrostatic coating, this cleaning is performed. Electric leakage may occur through water. Accordingly, there is a problem that the voltage applied to the water-based paint is not stable, and the quality of electrostatic coating is deteriorated due to uneven coating efficiency. In addition, a problem is pointed out that the applied voltage is remarkably reduced so that the electrostatic coating cannot be performed.

In the above-described electrostatic coating method according to the present invention, after the electrostatic coating is completed, a cleaning liquid is supplied to the rotary atomizing head via a cleaning path, and the rotary atomizing head is cleaned. A relatively low pressure air is supplied into the cleaning path, and the cleaning liquid remaining in the cleaning path is discharged. Next, since relatively high-pressure air is supplied into the cleaning path to dry the cleaning path, when a high voltage is directly applied to the conductive paint to perform the next electrostatic coating operation, Leakage through this cleaning path can be prevented. In addition, since the supply pressure of the air for discharging the cleaning liquid from the cleaning path to the outside is set to a relatively low pressure, the cleaning liquid is not drawn out from the rotary atomizing head, but flows back into, for example, the turbine of the air motor. Can be effectively prevented.
