Factory paint, wet sanded & buffed?

I appreciate all the replies. That explains why I have never run across any assembly line wet sand/buff pictures.

Basically I have always been curious.

What caused the thread was I have purchased a '69 Firebird and when I get around to the restomod I want to paint it Verdoro Green. I would like it to look like a 1969 paint job.
I see a lot of restored cars that just don't seem to look like they did back in the day and I was wondering if it may be the paint finish(and radial tires) that throw off the look.
