My understanding is that the all white finish for the Tutor (and the Vigilant) is to do with the structure of the airframe itself so it will not tolerate painting without some adverse effect on the strength and resilience. I'm no expert, I got that from an instructor at a VGS.

This is a technical remark in response to the post above and is not intended to be speculative.
