If painters typically add only one or two colors to a casting, do they then get up and move to another section of castings? I see that the pieces are lined up on tables- not a conveyor belt.
Do they paint the two colors and then wait for the paint to dry before adding more colors?
I believe the painters move from one group of pieces to the next, adding their colors to that batch. From what Harry told me, one person does not paint the whole piece, just their one or 2 colors. They get very very good at doing their 'little bit' of the colorization and can be consistent from one piece to the next.
