A method for coating a running support with a coating solution, such as in the production of a magnetic recording medium, in which spreading of the coating solution into edge portions of the support not intended to be coated with the coating solution is prevented, hence providing a coating layer uniform in thickness and with good surface characteristics. Immediately before application of the coating solution to the support, a solvent is applied to regions of the support which are not to be coated with the coating solution and which are located on both sides of the coating region to be coated with the coating solution. In accordance with the invention, the solubility parameter of the solvent is made different from that of a solvent contained in the coating solution by at least 1.2 at a temperature of 25.degree. C.
In a coating method in which, immediately before application of a coating solution to a running flexible belt-shaped support, a first solvent is applied to regions of said support which are not to be coated with said coating solution and are located on both sides of a coating region of said support which is to be coated with said coating solution, the improvement wherein the solubility parameter of said first solvent is different from that of a second solvent contained in said coating solution by at least 1.2 at a temperature of 25.degree. C.
