These materials can be impregnated with pigments that make painting irrelevant. The energy savings on the road (because of the weight savings) would be many orders of magnitude higher than whatever is produced by the 300kW fuel cell after energy has been used to process the fuel to feed it. ....but that would make too much sense for a company like Ford.
