The factory. It's an old technique that goes way back, they even used to use camo like this on ships. It makes them stand out like a sore thumb but the point is it hides the shape and lines which is the most important thing with a prototype. I live fairly close to BMWs North America factory where they produce (unless one in China or Russia came online in the past few years) every single worldwide X model aside from the X1. We see new models like the x4 before release wrapped in camo around here somewhat often, sometimes they're just parked in the Costco parking lot accumulating test miles on trips to an employees grocery trip lol.

Some companies are creative and do things other ways however.

And Porsche just paints the car Matt black and covers the lights. Here is an example of camo and not on the latest new Porsche, the second gen panamera.
