Is your feature request related to a problem?
Often times there are models that are brilliantly painted that users would like to scale and print to a larger size. In many cases it is desirable to scale the object up to the desired size, and then split the object so that it can be printed across multiple plates. Currently, splitting objects removes all painting from the object. On some models repainting is a simple task, but on others repainting would be extremely time consuming. This function would be increasingly useful as multicolor printing becomes more common, and especially so when multi-toolhead printers gain popularity and multi-color printing becomes less wasteful.
Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

We need this!
I also think this would be huge for some of the things I do, I'd save alot of time on some occasions. Not having to repaint everything after a necessary cut would be absolutely amazing.
+1, please retain original colors after splits and cuts
