Verne Frantz's 63 Impala Anniversary SURVIVOR

[Verne_Frantz]

Mo,
A couple more for your Dad.
First, were you able to confirm with him that the bodies were dipped in the red oxide primer, rather than sprayed?

Question on wheel paint: The wheels were painted with enamal, so I'd doubt they went through the same paint booth as the cars. Did the plants paint the wheels in another area, and if so were they done in order of the colors needed to match the cars' order on the line or were they painted in large batches of each color and "binned" for use? Or........were they received at the plants already painted?
Do you know if the wheel paint was baked, or just left to air dry?

Thanks again. I've appreciated the education.
Verne
