Let's be honest. You guys know that's Cactus Grey..... All colors are Cactus Grey!

Let's get a satellite over that lot ASAP!

Drone should do the trick. Mavic 2 Pro would work quite nicely for an ISR mission. (That's Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance for the non-mil peeps in the room)

Just for reference, I worked in a modern Ford paint shop during 3 new model launches.

I would be very surprised if any of these bodies escape the crusher. Obviously pre production units used for paint shop programing and tryout. Second photo sure looks like bare e-coat to me.

Some of these are likely wearing a colored primer, a process that most makers use. Different colored primers based on finish color.

Process simplified -
Body wash
e-coat, bake
e-coat sand and scuff
prime, bake
prime sand and scuff
top coat, bake
top coat inspection and any needed repair

Bodies then go into surge buffer conveyors and are routed to assembly depending on complexity. Not out to sit in the weather.

Couldn't you have just let us lived a little longer today.

it's like chum thrown into the shark tank after 2 weeks of starvation, just to find out the chum was flavored tofu.

As we are so far out from delivery, do you think these pics are leaked from Ford to continually excite the masses?

And why all these painted bodies? Maybe they are bulding some press cars to be reviewed right before December orders?

Like has been said before, I'm thinking this may be the start of the mannequins being built for the dealerships. Supposedly they were doing some work on MAP during the downtime in August through September and then going to start doing test runs and possibly building the mannequins by October/November.

That is e coat not a paint color. Goes on before paint!
