In an effort to get my 52 3/4 pick up to be as close to looking like the day it left the factory I need to know how they would have painted them and with what. I believe the trucks were paint in enamal. My question is after they were painted were they baked in oven to get the paint to lay down and get it's gloss and if this true would it also be true that the finish would have a small amount of orange peel in it when it was shipped out. I'm now in the process of wet sanding and compounding it and and need to know do I make the finish hot rod show smooth or leave a little orange peel in it.

I remember when I started this, I just don't remember why.
