The 101 Japan black enamel dip followed by the 102 jet black Japan enamel dip was used for mostly chassis parts to include fenders and aprons. This was a complicated process of metal finishing, cleaning, dipping, and drying of these parts. There was likely a crew just to maintain the paint mixtures and equipment since there was a lot of maintenance that went along with this process.

The engines and transmissions were separate from other chassis parts since they used a different color and had their own assembly process. The parts were cleaned of all grease after exiting the final machining processes and then paint caps were installed prior to the parts being sprayed with the green paint. After exiting the drying process, the parts went on to the engine/transmission assembly lines for final assembly. The parts that required paint were all finished prior to that final assembly. Assembled engines went on to the engine test line.
