Default Megafactories on TV

Just watching the above on TV at the moment (National Geographic +1) and it's about the Rolls Royce factory. I can now see why these cars command such a high price when new. The work that goes into each car is phenominal, very interesting program. Unfortunately it's only got about 15 minutes to go but if it's repeated it is well worth watching.

Yeah mate, that's the one. Just watched a guy hand paint the pinstripe down the side. He's the only person in RR that can do it & it takes him 3 hours per pinstripe.

He used french chalk to stop his fingers sticking to the bodywork

As said above. The body work dipping process was amazing
