Paint idea has cracks

...

Would it not be easier, and better customer relations, for Ford Australia to import its Transit vans in undercoat, charge a lower base price, and then add the cost of spraying a customer's body colour choice to that? A customer then could decide who does the end spray job, with good feelings all around and speedier delivery.

The idea has flaws, from the difficulty in removing a part-finished car from production to potential undercoat damage in shipment to the eventual warranty coverage. It sounds good on paper but is impractical.
