The "holdup" is that each SCR repaint involves four layers of paint, all of which have to be applied in the right amount for the finished job to have proper brightness of the color, and to get the level of metallic appearance consistent across all the panels. It is not easy. The paint has to be applied differently for metal panels and plastic because the paint settles at a different rate based on the differing temps of the panels to get similar appearance.
This stuff is programmed into the robotic paint process at the factory, it is much more difficult to do in the field.
A perfect account of the process and the difficulties BUT when they launched the colour, they should have first made sure that it was entirely doable out in the field.
