:eh: hmmm not sure about that one...

Then why do many factory paint jobs have a small amount of orange peel to them?

Plus dipping a car in paint would mean a very thick single coat which would take forever to dry.

i was taking on a trip to a factory to watch them get painted!!!

8) :D

SOME companys dont do it that way though like chevy and ford the have machines to paint em thats y if you look under most off the cars their not painted in full most is just undercoating... but when the undercoat comes off it just metal
