Thought I read recently that they expect an April start for use of the paint shop.

I highly doubt they will have it up and running before the start of 2017 production in June.

When I was at the Museum to pick up my new 'vette last month they said they are expecting to start co-production in the new paint facilities in 3rd quarter 2017, and that they would most likely over the course of 1-2 years taper off into exclusively using the new paint facilities.

Would new paint colors be included when they finish the facility?

What I hear is once the new paint shop is up and running they can offer up to 12 different colors at the same time.

They just installed one of the main support beams for the new paint facility. As mentioned above, look at the NCM web site for more info.
