The group I was in at GM Engineering was transferred to Fisher Body Headquarters around 1990..The Fisher Employee's all remained, We were
designated CPC (Chevrolet, Pontiac, Cadillac)
Robots came in by the hundreds, and many body
styles were fabricated there..Yet, the cars were
all prototype..The bare car bodies were then shipped
to Our Department where the body was washed down with a solvent, then sprayed inside and out with a product similar to oilsum, then pushed in a bondarizer which puts the body through a 8 step
process rinsing, and washing with several different chemicals...when done, the body is baked at 350 degree's for 30 minutes..From there its primed using two 30 gal pressure pots...The body after priming is pulled out of prime area into an infra-red oven to dry...after sanding lightly it goes into spray booth for 2 coats of hi-solid enamel and 2 coats of clear...Baked at 375 degree's...Bill B.
