So is the suggestion Jon that prior to 1927 they didn't spray the cars? or that they didn't use cellulose?
Just to complicate things further I noticed in one of the Austin factory films of the 1930s that the wings were described as being "dipped in black enamel". Difficult to imagine how they got a good finish.
The term "enamel" seems to have been used for cellulose, spirit based and synthetic paints at various times. I had a couple of tins of cellulose enamel in the cupboard until recently.
