Cybertruck Paint? Production Jobs Listed as "Paint" Related

[TechOps]

I was checking out the job postings @ Giga Texas for Cybertruck, and they have roles in the expected areas - stamping, casting, drive units, battery packs, etc. But a couple of the posted openings surprised me a bit:

Production Supervisor, Cybertruck, Paint
Production Associate Manager, Cybertruck, Paint

I was not expecting paint-focused roles. Any ideas what they would be painting? Smaller components or subassemblies? Or could there be some exterior paint (the rumored matte black, etc.)?

Not sure.... could it be there is a paint option ?

Maybe it’s listed as paint but it’ll be focused on some line that sprays a bed liner on bed parts/assemblies?

I would bet it needs some sort of a coating where the aluminum castings meet stainless to prevent galvanic corrosion and I would also expect hitches, skid plates and aftermarket parts to need protection.

The BIW body side for one, it's painted as it's not stainless steel:

I’m gonna paint mine silver and confuse everyone

There are bits of the truck which are likely painted. Just not the outside.

Aluminum and other internal components have to be corrosion or oxidation proofed. Obviously not the exoskeleton.

That's still part of the exoskeleton.
