Apart from the hassle in doing that, in most colours it would result in mismatched colours under close inspection. The front fender part could be painted separately as it doesn't really join the body so minor mismatches would be hard to notice.

For example, on the 991 GT3RS, the magnesium roof comes pre-painted from the supplier in Korea.

The doors on the ST, I believe, are pre-painted as well from the supplier.

Many ST are produced missing either the door or the little front fender piece. On cars without the carbon doors, they are temporarily using a regular GT3 door to get the cars shifted through assembly. When the door actually arrives, they will swap out the doors.
