Note that this was specific to Pontiac, so the Central Office involvement for a Chevrolet vehicle may have been different.

Jim Mattison (of PHS fame) may be able to shed additional light on this, as he worked in the COPO group during his time at GM.

One additional thought: at Flint Assembly we had several smaller paint "pots", where fleet or special colors could be loaded without affecting the mainstream larger volume system.

That way there was less waste associated with purging/color changes, and the system could be maintained without affecting regular production.
