1) no OEM would ever do this because A) it does not save much money and B) primer is not designed to be a durable-long lasting corrosion preventative coating. Also, painting a car after it is assembled is expensive. I got a quote for a high-quality respray on my car, trim out, fully masked etc and it was about $5,000. It's much easier to paint all the painted parts before they are installed. 2) only super luxury OEMs offer true bespoke painting; the closest you can get is stuff like BMW Individual where you can pick paint colors from an extensive library (basically the first option). You can't offer every color under the sun because you have a specific paint supplier that supplies you with specific colors (or components of colors). Custom painting adds a ton of complexity in both the supply chain and manufacturing process, and complexity drives cost. If you want your car to be a different color, vinyl wraps exist and are both good and not very expensive.

It was $3500 if I recall correctly and the program was a dismal failure

You’d probably already need some kind of relationship with Porsche.

RIP Paul Walker posted:Thinking about it a bit more, a Porsche dealer could commission this itself and sell the cars individually pretty easily I’d think. The harlequin look is excellent. I suspect Porsche would frown on this.
