I don't believe so.

Ferrari had this oh so poorly chosen statement about the colour of their team, the day after signing Hamilton.

"Black is gone, white is back"

I'm guessing both Alpine & Haas are using black to save weight not for aesthetics. Up close we'll see it's carbon fibre not a paint job.

Always a worry when teams have to sacrifice a proper paint job for badly executed design or engineering.
