Capacity isn't unlimited at Saltmeadows, so if they need X buses done by Y, I'd imagine that they have little choice other than to outsource it to contractors.

ANd also while Saltmeadows isn't the smallest, if they increase the size/team for paint jobs, those extra paint bays aren't always going to be full. Probs cheaper to outsource than add more capacity to Saltmeadows.
