In many industries the application of paint for preservative or ornamental purposes is imperative and the item of expenditure is an important one.
There is abundant evidence to prove that the application of paint, either by means of dipping, spraying or other mechanical means, effects an enormous saving of time over the old method of using brushes, while the coats of paint are more durable and thorough.
This saving of time not only lowers the cost of production to a very considerable extent, but it permits of a large increase in the output.
The process of "flowing-on" enamels and varnishes described in the following pages effects an even greater saving of time in those cases where it is applicable. The extent of this saving can be judged by the fact that a complete coat of enamel can be given to the body of a four-seated touring car in the almost incredibly short time of two minutes!
