The entire build process in actually done in Toyota motor city instead of subaru Gunma factory. So... it's actually handbuild unlike ours.

As a one off/limited, hand built production vehicle the paint would be exempt from the lowered VOC requirements in place for production vehicles since late 2012. This of course will make the paint better. Our paint is not poor due to cost or because it is "cheap" but because it has to meet the worldwide environmental protection car requirements. The laws on reduction simply out paced the tech for paint and it will take a few years for them to catch up. We will see good paint again in the near future.
