I have never heard of blackout paint being done at the dealer.

This is a better picture of a typical spray booth. These are truck rallies getting their argent silver color coat at Chevrolet Flint Assembly, circa 1979.
You can see the water flowing down the wall in the background, which collects the overspray and carries it away. The resulting sludge is dried out and disposed of in a manner consistent with the disposal of industrial hazardous waste. K

I always enjoyed looking at the assembly process and noting how different the order was from what you or I would do in our own garage. Flint Assembly motor set operation shown below. K

That kind of discussion is why I posted that photo. I figured in the Lounge it would get the best chance for views. The top two photos are all over but that lower one was quite interesting. |

Well, where I lived in the Mpls, St. Paul area it was a very common practice for the dealers upon receipt of the cars off the transport carrier to flash on some black paint over the rearend and the bottom side of the fuel tank. This was done because in our climate they would flash rust almost immediately on the dealers parking lot and looked terrible. The front suspension was almost as bad. Maybe because of your climate they did not practice that there.
