This will charge the spray particles and the positive charge on the part will attract the paint so there is very little overspray and you use less paint. It sounds strange but it works!
Be sure when you are done to wipe off the spray nozzle and rap the can on the bench a couple of times to settle the paint away from the spray orifice. The spray nozzle is less likely to plug up then. It works for me!

Or turn it upside down and spray till it clears the nozzle
