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 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.
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
