Re: Just pulled this 72 out of the weeds has "special paint"?

Perhaps I should add that most facilities had smaller paint "pots" that were loaded with the special color, so that the vehicles could be run without polluting the mainstream paint tanks and lines. This minimized the amount of waste, too, when cleaning and purging the lines to load the next special color.

Some of the assembly plants run the special color jobs through their paint repair system in an attempt to do the same thing (in the main paint shop immediately following body shop and prior to trim; not the paint repair area at the end of the final line).
