Why the crap are they having a human do the dipping? ROBOTS PEOPLE.

Also, every one of those wheel graphics made me want to hurl.

It's not something a robot could handle without driving the cost up way too much. The chemicals needed for it are already expensive enough, also the artistry and chemistry knowledge needed to do it right is also very complex. You're only seeing the very end of the process.

This is also how the military applies its pixel camo to their helmets, if I'm not mistaken...
