Ed,

How did you handle the runs that inevitably happen?

When I restored my '69 ( back in 1980 ), I remember that a
number of NOS GM sheet metal pieces had slight runs on them.
Some even required wet sanding to work the runs out.

For bracketry, etc. - I wonder if they were just hung on a
wire and dipped, or

Nuch

Over the years, I've seen literally tons of original parts with paint runs. For non-exposed parts, it wasn't a concern. The objective at the time was to produce cars.
Let the runs fall were they may because thats the way the factory did it.
