haha that's true... However when we started the 767 operation through NRT with a shiny new DHL painted 767-300F the Japanese authorities ordered the company to operate the flights with "POLAR" painted on the outside of the jets or lose the slots. So freshly painted jets had to go back to the paint shop and get a make over to comply. They allow a certain amount of deviation but if you regularly show up dressed in the wrong colors they will make it an issue. They do watch this and the company has to comply.
