Re: How Were They Painted?
The paint circulation photo above shows how they they kept paint mixed and ready in volume,the number of vats shows how many colors were 'on the gun'.Ford used conveyors and ovens to speed and time the drying process.Assembly plants were shipped painted bodies depending on the size of the plant,Larger assembly plants like Long Beach actually did some steel stamping,providing some of their own body parts,smaller ones just assembled painted units delivered by rail from the Rouge.
