Processes and systems for forming a coating system on a component. The process of forming the coating system on the component includes placing an apparatus in a location that promotes coating particles in flight to be redirected towards a surface on the component. The surface is obstructed by portions of the component limiting line-of-sight from a source of the coating particles to the surface. The coating particles are then deposited onto the surface of the component. The coating particles initially travel in a direction of initial particle travel and are redirected by the apparatus towards the surface on the component at a direction of final particle travel relative to the surface. The line-of-site from the source of the coating particles is at an angle of less than 30 degrees relative to the surface of the component and the direction of final particle travel is at an angle of 30 degrees or more relative to the surface of the component.
