Prior to the genius of Charles Kettering and his lacquer spray paint (among his many achievements, such as inventing the automobile starter motor), I believe all cars were hand brushed multiple times with slow solvent-drying paints, just like the horse carriages were. It took days to dry with multiple coats, weeks overall. Yikes!
