On the other hand, :"L´opération de fluo projection peut être réalisée avec des machines de même type que celles utilisées pour le repoussage. La **fluo projection** s´effectue en une seule passe. Durant le formage, la molette suit le profil du mandrin. L´épaisseur finale de la pièce est telle qu´en tout point, il y a un amincissement suivant la relation : EF = EO, sinus alpha tous les cas.". See http://www.biemon-repoussage.com/savoir.php. It still doesn't explain what the process is or does, though....

Possibly one of these (page 8): http://www.otson.com/Manual Liquid Electrostatic Spray Gun_O... Repoussage appears to be "spinning", so it's possible the PTFE is sprayed on after the piece has been formed, but I'm still not sure that's what it means.
