The method of the present invention begins with the unloading of the garments delivered by the customer. After unloading, the garments are sorted and counted and then placed on moveable racks for transportation to a separate storage area nearby. Selected garments are then moved from the storage area to a temporary receiving area near zones known as painting cells, where the garments are taken and hung from hooks attached to a variable speed electronically operated overhead track conveyor. The conveyor moves the garments along an oval shaped track pattern at a constant speed as paint is applied by workers stationed at various locations along the conveyor route. Various paint application methods are utilized during this stage of the operation, including the use of spray bottles and airbrushes. The garments are then removed from the hooks attached to the conveyors circulating inside the painting cells and placed on another conveyor, which transports the garments upwardly into the ceiling areas of the production facility where the conveyor track slowly winds around portions of the interior of the building. There the garments continue to circulate through the heated air beneath a series of radiant tube type heaters allowing sufficient time for the paint to dry. The garments are unloaded from the ceiling conveyor and then conveyed through an oven for curing under extreme heat. When dry, and the paint is properly cured, the garments are removed to a holding area for shipment to the customer.
