The whole point of the design is to minimize production cost/ time. Toyota UK quote 'up to' 15hrs per car spent in paint, that's a lot of effort when you're making 250,000 of the things.

Toyota Japan quote 17-18 hours to build a whole car.

Perhaps someone can find a better break down of those numbers, but it's clear not painting a car saves a stack of time and money.
