The painting process is 100% automated as well. Stuff goes in one side and comes out the other finished. So it may be a time consuming process, but not a labor intensive process. I'm not saying it has zero cost, just expecting a $10,000 savings on a $50,000 truck is impossible. You can buy a new Ram all painted pretty with all the normal corrosion processes for low $20k. You think I could buy that truck with all those steps just skipped for $10k? I would be all over that rust be dammed.
