DropD Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Many reference photos I've looked at show Navy and Marine aircraft where there are (what I think) repairs to the outside paint. Example: https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=llMNFw0P&id=F4430971B01C9A5A0E857AC655460D921FDB1E35&thid=OIP.llMNFw0PIWa8VcMj5QD7BwHaE8&mediaurl=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2Fa%2Fa2%2FProwler_%22Final_Flight%22_division_flight_160301-M-RH401-152.jpg%2F1200px-Prowler_%22Final_Flight%22_division_flight_160301-M-RH401-152.jpg&exph=800&expw=1200&q=ea-6b+prowler+images&simid=608001798380781964&ck=A3E6442676CEF9301F9EC380565F66DF&selectedindex=19&form=IRPRST&ajaxhist=0&vt=0&sim=11 I assume this was done in the field. Just wondering the cause of all the different shades ? Also in areas that were re-painted the insignia and markings over that area appear to be uniform in almost all aspects. I was just wondering what the process is for maintaining the outside paint of these aircraft? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hegedus Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Differences in color/shade can be due to several things: new paint against old paint that has been weathered/stained, different lots of paint that are labled the same color, or use of a different shade because that's all that was available.
