Cobra Jet body ready for primer stage. Door jams, roll cage and select areas are shot with a manual gun. Rest of car is shot with a robotic gun.


Cobra Jet body in final top coat and clear coat area of paint line before going into the oven for a final bake. 40 cars run through each paint line per hour. The robots are pretty impressive, they even lift and close the hood.

Great shots...maybe ask your 'friends' to snap a couple of close up photos of that paperwork hanging off the car...it might be valuable information when any discussions are started about what it says on it in the future.
