Bob,

It was my understanding that they put the paint on thick and then rubbed it
out to get it to shine. Maybe that was only on the high end cars.

On the model T, they sprayed the body with fast(relatively) drying black
enamel.  The "sprayer" looked like a garden hose with a fan type nozzle, the
same you can buy today at the hardware store.  So much for the fine show car
finish you see today on restored cars of the period!
