Anyone know about or work with building cars(new)
Something ive thought about since watching something the other day.
Cars are painted by robots. Do they just get painted from bare metal shell or are they prepped?
Like when you have a respray the cars primes, then flatted then top coated etc. So does the primer on the new cars get flatted etc ?
Ive never seen anything on this so just wondering.

only ventured into the paint shop twice in my time at Toyota so cant give you a full procedure run down, but they were deffinately primed, then any defects in the primer (seeds etc) were marked up by some guys then hand flatted by some more further down, obviously if they were a bit much for hand they hand air tools line side to sort them out.
