when you transfer charged particles (in this case atomized paint) to a grounded surface, would you want the ground to have the least resistivity possible? i would imagine that you would want the least amount possible to transfer paint. we spray from 30-70 kv's at a distance of 1" for every 10 kv's. so if the resistivity is as low as possible, what could be the low points? the positive is better transfer of paint. i am new to electricity properties, so i would think as long as the resistivity is low on the ground part, then charged paint would be optimal process. i would like to know if i am wrong, or if there needs to be some resistance of the grounded part. BTW - the grounded part i refer to is plastic, and we create a bridge between the plastic and a metal rack with conductive primer. so the primer is really what i would need to know resistivity for. i need charged paint to go to the part and i think less resistivity would allow that if current could fully go to the ground.
