    Auto bodies are dipped for a number of reasons. 

    On new cars, they can be dipped to clean the metal prior to paint or
    to zinc coat the metal and maybe other things. But dipping for paint?,
    while I don't doubt it may have been done some where at some time, it
    would however make for a lot of problems, runs, drips, uneven paint
    thickness and wasted paint. So I would think the process was short
    lived. 

    Acid dipping can be used to remove paint, rust and body filler.
