How do they make cars in different colors?

Cars are painted during the manufacturing process, but before final assembly. Once the metal frame of the car has been built, it is sent to a paint shop in the factory. The frame is then painted one of the colors offered for that model. What color the frame is painted, as well as how many will be painted in this color, are determined by the manufacturer. Doors, hoods, trunk lids, and other pieces not part of the frame are painted separately. These pieces are all put together in final assembly, as well as adding the interior.
