[Healeys] AH factory paint process?

[S and T Miller]

Exactly how were the cars painted at the factory?  Were the fenders/ shrouds
painted on the inside prior to fitting and then the exterior (fitted body)
painted?  I would assume the boot, bonnet, splash pan (where applic.), and
doors were painted separately.  Did the process change during the years?  Did
they always use the red oxide color primer?
