It’s not necessarily extra cost. Periodically the planes must undergo a full maintenance process, which involves complete disassembly, inspecting each component down to the bolts. As part of this, the fuselage is stripped down to the metal to check for cracks and fatigue. Then the plane is reassembled and painted. So one livery is about the cost of another.
If the planes are being repainted as they are assembled, which is what the article seems to suggest, then it’s not a cost issue.
