Raleigh paint-job BITD
The amazing thing is these old Raleighs were dip tank painted. It took about 5 seconds. Dip the frame into the tank of paint and hang it on the moving assembly line.
To see the whole process go on YouTube and type in How a Bicycle is Made. The painting is about half way thru.
