Red paint delay?

[ColoradoMike]

I have seen a couple of people recently say they ordered a Firecracker Red Wrangler, and their build seems to be really delayed, and they speculate that red paint is the problem.
Has anybody RECEIVED a Firecraker Red Wrangler within the last few weeks? Has anybody ordered Firecracker Red in the last 8 weeks and seen their order move quickly into build status?
I just ordered Monday and have a VIN, but I will change the order to a different color if I think the color is going to cause a long delay.
Thanks-

Paint must be the rumor of the week. Earlier it was green.

Jeep inventory search shows plenty of red being built and in transit. IF you trust their website.

Right on. Yeah... it occurred to me that my week started by discussing a firecracker red Rubi XR that was actually in transit to a dealer down the road, on its way to a customer who had ordered it... which kind of dismisses my own concern. It's funny, after hearing all the stories... ordering a Wrangler for build kind of makes you crazy. I think I probably will start wetting my finger and holding it up in the air, smelling for good or bad omens, maybe get into Tarot or some crap, waiting for this thing.
Ordered Monday. VIN assigned today. Here we go. God help me.

I ordered my Firecracker Red Sahara on 3/1/2022. It supposedly went to D1 on 4/1/2022. I do not have a build sheet or window sticker yet.

Love it. I will be stoked if I get to D1 within 4 weeks; that seems right on schedule or ahead of schedule.
