That bothered me as well.

To repaint on line they would have to run it through the white, take it off the line and run it back through the orange. This would interfere with the whole line. To run it through white, take it off, run it through orange someplace else and then put it back would still impact the line but not to the same level as tying up the paint booth. There was oviously some valid (to them at least) reason it was done how it was. It is weird though.
