Painting New Cars Options

[richardL]

I've been reading threads and guides about re-painting cars recently, they are always stressing the quality usually comes from prep work, lots of sanding etc. rather than the actual act of spraying the paint.

So I was wondering, given how great the paint on most modern new cars is, how do they do it, straight from the production line?

I assume they don't have hoards of workers buffing and rubbing the cars between coats, so...

...as I actually have very little idea of how its actually done, can someone either link me to an explanation of how new cars get painted and achieve the quality, or can someone explain the process.

Thanks,
R
