From memory, the RAF didn't change its colour schemes until after the war, perhaps 1947 or later. However, American types (notably the Mustang) would have been received from the factory in bare metal and I think were not painted by the RAF. Whether the RAF considered a formal change in policy for UK-built types is a different question!
