A Few More Choices On Elio Color Options Would Be Nice.... ?

[UCF'73]

Let me first say yes I am a child of the 1900's, so though I have used a computer since they were new, I am no code writer.
I have noticed on the EM web site a bunch of 'photos' of Elios driving here and there, great.
The cars in these 'photos' are all the different colors.
Finally to my question, are these the actual car painted different colors (I think not) or just geeks at play?

I wondered the same thing myself but have to assume the pictures are doctored up. It would probably be too hard to paint just one car body, then have to clean out all the sprayers etc. for the next color.

agree .... from what has been reported, they have only built 3 .... the first green, the second silver, and the third creamsicle .... I've never seen the green one and it would be great if someone would post a picture .... my hope is the vehicle colors will look better than they do in the pictures

There are seven spray booths.

Here's a link showing the green Elio. It appears about thirty seconds in.

I want to find out if I can get a silver car with black front chin spoiler and lower rocker extensions. That should be easy as they are both applied after the build.

I'm already ALL IN, but I'd be ALL IN for the YELLOW. The blue is kind of nauseating, so that's the first one I'd throw out.

LOL, instead of True Blue, it's Nauseating Blue. LOL. I have some ideas... now this is JUST all-in fun, to be all-in for some funny color names...

Sickening Silver, Rotten Apple, Crappy Creamsicle, Red Rash, Rotten Teeth (for the black), and? Moldy White.

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff you know not to feed the darkside of the force.

could or would you or might you post a picture. I don't know what a front spoiler looks like.
PS I am an expert on turbulators though. LOL
