Are Tesla replacement body panels pre-painted?

[Magnets!]

I thought I read here somewhere that replacement panels were prepainted? The body shop says no and even if they were, it wouldn't be good as the panels need to be blended for a good match. By the way, looks like front fender is IN stock in Freemont...we'll see.

No. You can't get the hood prepainted. Pretty sure it is the same for the panels.
