I get the idea of eliminating a paint shop and using a single slate gray color and wrapping it to reduce manufacturing costs. But the color is molded into the plastic (via dye pellets), so why not produce panels in a few base colors? It doesn't increase the manufacturing cost.
Then you get into custom builds and numerous color combinations. These are not going to be produced in the numbers to justify numerous color runs. If some people want a Blue truck then how many Blue truck orders are required to make just Blue trucks for awhile.

I don't even like wraps because they only last between 3-5 years.

Since the panels can be removed, it may not be that hard to have it traditionally painted but that all depends on the composite. A wrap every 3-5 year's will run about $2+3k so I'm thinking a paint job once should be close to the same
