More paint-by-coat-hanger

I've been reading my way through Louis H. Hertz's  1970 book, The Complete Book of Building and Collecting Model Automobiles. On page 76 I came across this image attributed to the Testor Corp. It's a sequence of images showing how to spray paint a model while using a bent coat hanger to handle the piece. As you know this has been something of an ongoing topic here at 30 Squares (you can find the other posts here, here, and here) so I couldn't let it pass un-noted.

The caption reads:

Some tips on painting. In sequence: employing a bent wire coat hanger to hold a model while painting; cleaning dust and oil from model parts prior to painting; holding spray can at a distance from model for the first coats; attaining a high-gloss finish by close spraying of final coat, and hanging unit up to dry by using the coat-hanger holder.
