Roof and nose masked to prepare for car body painting.
As with the nose, the car body stripe was painted first then masked. 
Three color finishes were applied followed by two clear coats.
The paints dries quickly allowing for the stripe masking to be removed.
All photos were shot without a flash.  This is the primary reason for the "red" tint to all photographs.  The flash was not used so as not to interrupt the Juniata employees.
Clear coats being applied.
The painting process lasted from approximately 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
