Show COPPER COLORED cm is ami Utah Auto Painting Co. Turns Out First All-copper Job in City. A unique and rather startling color scheme for bringing out the features of a big touring car has Just been completed at' the shop of the Utah Auto Painting companv. 2s4 Edison street. The auto a new model Marmon, has been done In pure copper color, with enameled white wire wheels and copper-I copper-I colored rims. The body Is lightly and i s.iarlnglv striped In white lo match the j color of the wheels. ! The bis Marmon car is truly a thins of ! beaut v. since the painter's craft has i transformed It Into a shining cauldron on wheels- It is indeed very pleasing to look at. but the manner of applying the copper cop-per to its plossv bodv was a very precarious precari-ous and dangerous Job. The men who nerlormed the work wore masks, much like the gas mask now used in the trenches on the battlefields of FAirope, and the mixture of pure metal and binder had to be applied with a big automatic iir brush. The fumes of this paint, containing con-taining pure copper metal, are almost as deadly as the noxious gases that the Ger- mans and French have invented to kill each other with. The car is the property of C. B. Stewart, Stew-art, a Salt Iake man, And will shortly be seen on the streets of the city. During the past month the Utah Auto Painting company has turned out more work for auto owners in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming than it has usually performed in an ordinary two months' run. There are no Indications that a let-up is in store for the company, and it is making every preparation to continue to operate its painting plant at its highest capacity. The Utah Auto Painting company can paint your car, in its improved and up-to-date plant, in from three to four days. |
