From the December 2015 topic discussion: https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthre...=134256&page=4 What follows is an excerpt from an interview conducted for Echoes and would be applicable to Norwood. "The back panel paint was applied on the line between ovens 2 and 3. The paint was the same paint used on the rockers. The gloss difference was a technical result of the temperature differences within the last reflow oven. The first being where the upper portions of the body were exposed to more consistent heat than the rockers and the reflow process was always more glossy in those areas. If there was a temperature difference in plant say a summer day- the body was already hot going into the oven - warm to the touch- as opposed to a winter day where the body would be cool to the touch, all of these factors played into the final reflow outcome. Cars built in cooler conditions in plant probably were less prone to high gloss where cars that cycled into the oven on a hot day had better and more consistent reflow due to the oven getting a fairly warm body to start with" My Guess based entirely on this interview: Cars built in the summer= glossy Cars built in the winter = Less glossy Spring and Fall=split the gloss % Source: Fisher Body Paint Department supervisor. His name appears on the 1969 personnel listing at Norwood as a Fisher Body employee in paint. In addition He supervised the man in the picture below. |
