You are correct and so is Scott. There is no CGM in the paint system yet. Gm likes to test out body panels of the new paint WAY aheead of production schedule. They usually have a crew come in and paint a few whole bodys or few select panels to check for defects or paint issues before the paint sceme makes it into full blown production.
When the GMT-900 truck first started rolling out. 3 months after SORP there was various pilot bodies throughout the paint shop with the new purple and jewlcoat ruby red paint for the NEXT year of production, 8 months in advance. They know what they are doing and every color that has been sprayed on the new Camaro looks awsome and compliments the body lines perfectly. IOM looks particularly badass on the hood.
