DIY Electrostatic Painting

[wandersen]

Anyone ever try making a DIY electrostatic painting rig for painting tube clusters on a frame?

Maybe something like this.

Discard the gun and put on a real paint gun.

I think there are some threads out there saying you need somewhere around 80kV of static charge. A CRT flyback transformer gives something around 25kV (IIRC).

Thoughts? Making of an epic fail?
