IOM is not premium. It's the same two stage (color then clear coat) process as all the others except RJT.

That being said the front and rear facia is painted by the supplier and NOT with the car like all the metal parts. It's possible the supplier has a slightly different process for each color. For the metal parts the robots do the same job for all cars (except RJT which gets an extra tint coat).
