How do they paint them?

I watched a special on how BMW makes the Z4. Very interesting. The completed body gets dunked into a hot phospate mineral tank, magnetically charged, dipped into a primer tank, washed, baked, painted baked, clear coated, and baked again. In between steps the body is dusted with ostrich feathers numerous times. All is done on a conveyer by robots.

Is this common practice among manufacturers?

How is the camaro done?
