On the other hand, the secondary color applications may not have been screened on.... I'm still trying to figure that out because I think that look is really cool.
No doubt, the white was silk screened. I'm 99.9% certain the "secondary color applications" had to be airbrushed. The airbrush was invented in the late 1800's and custom car culture made the technique very popular in the 1950's.
