does anyone know if cars was painted in groups or individually??

talking about 1969 camaros at norwood assembly plant

http://www.camaros.org/assemblyprocess.shtml

i read that and sounds like they were painted and could be several different colors running down the assembly line at any time. it is just not clear to me if they ran hundered cortez silver cars and then 50 rally green cars in a row or if there was a cortez silver followed by rally green followed by daytona yellow and so forth.

I thought I was going to see a painting of the assembly line!

i was not specific when i was asking about how they was painted but more specifically when the trim tag was made was several colors produced in order or was trim tag stamped one color and the next sequence number a different color

What you're talking about is "batch-painting", which saves the purge thinner used through the guns when making a color change between cars. Batch-painting is a key scheduling parameter these days, but it wasn't in the 60's; the schedule was built in the 60's primarily based on the amount of work content in the body style and options in Trim Shop and in Chassis and Final Assembly, with the Paint Shop operations as a secondary consideration (for instance, don't run 2 convertibles in a row, three A/C's in a row, 2 vinyl tops in a row, etc.). Balancing the work level in Final Assembly operations was more important than saving purge thinner in the Paint Shop.
