Thanks folks! Yes, we mean electrostatic painting, not spray painting.
And
yes, we have the Linda Newman article. And input from folks who have
undergone this electrotatic work has been wonderful. This will all be
helpful in persuading the managers here that we want this done.
Many thanks to the most generous folks around.

Greetings Alice! Wish you the best, maybe time to schedule that around
the world cruise for 5 years! Anyway, we had our shelving painted while
I was in S. Carolina. Not quite the same as map cases but the same
material type. I was quite surprised. Minimal mess, and I don't recall
odor much past the time of actual painting.
The process was electromagnetic I believe. (I wouldn't even consider
normal spray painting.) They painted the shelves sitting right on the
carpet (new building we were moving into) and not so much as a whiff was
ever found on the carpet. Somehow the paint (or shelves) is charged to
attract to the shelves and goes nowhere else. I believe our vendor was
out of Charlotte, but I could check if that becomes important. I would
imagine you are talking metal cases so they should react the same way.
I suggest you have a potantial vendor visit you and explain the process
and calm your apprehension. Will you paint the inside of the drawers or
just the outside. I am not sure how long lasting the results are since I
left down there within a couple of years of the job, but at the time
wear & tear looked similar between the new and the repainted shelves.
Hope this helps. Give me a shout if you have any questions...John

Dear Mapsters,
NYPL Map Div. is about to undergo renovation. [yes, your prayers for our
recovery are welcome!]
One aspect of the work we are considering is to spray paint the map
cases,
rather than purchase new [inferior] cases or flat files.
We are concerned about processes; protection of the collections;
off-gassing; costs, etc.
We have some 300,000 maps in 3-5 drawer units here in the rooms to be
renovated. Another 100,000+ are in storage,and probably will not be
painted.
Just wonder what others have experienced with spray painting; and long
term
effects...chipping? vapors?
Any input from the map library community is most welcome as we approach
Armageddon [and I do not mean Osama, I mean Renovation!]
