Originally they did, but it was discontinued after a few years, and they went to paint outside and a waxoyl substance sprayed inside. The reasons give were cost savings ansd issues with deformation during Galvanising. The real reason was probably that they realised it wasn't good business to sell vehicles that lasted for fifty years!
The painting was always poor compared to some other makes, but years ago the metal quality of the british steel was quite good, so it rusted slowly. Nowadays the coating is still poor, but the Indian or Turkish steel rust like nothing else when unprotected.
