The short answer is Yes and No! Your lease will state that you must return the vehicle in a reasonable condition. The lease company will accept normal "wear and tear" without penalty, but a different color would not fall within the definition of normal "wear and tear. This leaves you with 3 options, the first and most obvious is to paint it, and paint it again before you return it.
In option 1, you suffer the expense of painting it twice, if it costs approx $3500 to paint it once? However your problem may not end there, if the leasing company discovers the double repaint (and they probably will) then the vehicle is no longer in an original condition and they will charge you a penalty.
Option 2 involves painting the vehicle with a peelable paint coating, like Hydroblue Re~Color the procedure here is to just clean the vehicle, select a color and paint it yourself. This unique paint will adhere with minimum force to the existing paint and when it comes time to return the vehicle, simply peel of the color, It will leave no residue behind and in fact the original paint will have been protected.
Option 3 involves covering the car with plastic wrap, this is a vinyl material that sticks to your car and gives the appearance of paint, again, like option 2, it is simply peeled off before the vehicle is returned. It is not as easy to remove as option 2 and often leaves behind a residue that is not easily cleaned. The cheapest option is 2.
