How is static electricity used to paint cars?
I heard something pretty awesome, but I’m not sure how it works precisely. Can you explain how static electricity is used to paint cars?

It’s a pretty awesome technique. Some cars are painted with static electricity, and the process is called electrostatic spray painting.
Manufacturers use electrostatic spray painting to achieve a smooth finish on the car’s surface. This method significantly reduces uneven coverage and overspraying that can happen with a regular spray gun.
Since the spray paint gun itself is positively charged, so are the
paint
particles. This guarantees that they repel each other, creating a very fine mist and even coating. Still, cars are subjected to natural wear and tear and the occasional unforeseen event. For such cases, your car insurance coverage should help you to offset some costs associated with keeping your ride in the best shape.
