PURPOSE: To obtain a painting hanger made hard to generate the adhesion of a powder and capable of earthing an object to be painted by a method wherein a conductive core material is wrapped by an elastomer or sponge having a conductive powder dispersed therein at least on the side of the object to be painted and electrically shielded from the circumference when the object to be painted is not suspended.

CONSTITUTION: The intermediate part of a conductive core material 11 is covered with an insulating film 2 and the end part thereof is covered with a sponge body 3 having a conductive powder 3b dispersed therein. The circumference 3c of a hanger is in an insulating state with respect to the conductive core material 1. The foamed part 3a of the sponge body 3 is deformed by the load of an object 9 to be painted and the conductive powder 3b is brought to a mutual contact state or the conductive powder 3b and the conductive core material 1 are brought to a contact state and, as a result, only the part receiving load becomes a conductive state and the object 9 to be painted becomes an earthed state. The circumference of the sponge body 3 at the other part receiving no load also becomes an insulated state. When the object 9 to be painted is detached and load is eliminated, the sponge body is restored to the original shape. By this method, the sponge body can be replaced corresponding to the kind or wt. of the object to be painted.
