Dodge assembly line painting procedure question

[notstock71]

I am starting to think about a new daily driver and the Scat Pack 392 Challenger has my attention. My question is about painting on the assembly line.

Is it that big of a deal to do a special order paint color if staying in the Fiat/Chrysler family? Obviously Dodge denied my inquiry. Is it because of a time/ delay issue to get everything ready? How are cars painted now? Are they painted in batches of the same color, system cleaned out then next color sprayed? I could see where a special order color would be a problem then. I'm willing to pay a reasonable upcharge though, say $1000ish.

I was also denied the Shaker on the widebody option. Definitely disappointing to get denied on 2 of the 3 things I wanted.

I appreciate any insight on the whole painting scenerio. Now if someone has back doors to make this happen.....let's do some dealing.
