There are always time line considerations to these things too.  If the way they did it for years got analyzed and they said "we could get by" without painting this or that, eventually the accountants got their way. 

Very well put, Wayne.  I can remember the struggles to take 10-15 cents out of a carburetor and wondering what difference a dime would make in the great scheme of things.  It was pointed out to me that if we took 10 cents out of the carburetor and multiplied it out by however many cars were built, it added up.  Furthermore, all the other components were under the same pressure to cut costs, so these things were always factored in, too.
