enamel finish. Tung. or Chlnnwood
oil. as it is known to the trade. is the
basis (or colored enamels perfected
by the Olds Motor \Vorks and used
exclusively on sport model Oldsmo~
biles. ‘
For years manufacturers and paint
makers sought an enamel that could
be used in colors and that would
withstand the high temperatures
necessary to bake the finish to the
degree required for automobile use.
Black has maintained its place as the
standard oolor tor automobiles only
because it could be baked on cheap-
ly and quickly. The same enamel
with color ingredients added would
come out smoked and streaky after
being exposed to the excessive tem-
peratures of the baking ovens. The
only method oi body llnlshing that
would give a glossy tlnlsh in colors
was the ordinary and familiar one oi
paint and varnish—a lens and rela-
tively expensive procedure.
After several years or experimen-
tation and months of testing. the
Olds Motor Works developed a color
enarnel that will withstand the heat
of baking ovens and which has caus-
ed a. revolution ot'thought and be-
liefs in the paint industry. At the
beginning of the development when‘
omcials or the Olds Rotor Works
made known their-«rants. both paint
and varnish makers said it could not
be done—and it could not With the
materials and ideas-then in use. But
constant experimentation along new
lines and finally the trying out of
China wood oil or Tung all made
success possible.
Tung oil has been used for ages
by the Chinese. and is believed to be
the secret of the famous Chinese
lacquer ware that has withstood the
wear of centuries. It. is produced
and marketed today in the same
crude way it was bemre the birth e‘i
Christianity. -
