No paint for Rivet Joint!

I read that in order to save £3 million, our "new" rivet joint (does any type have a more grating name?) are not going to be repainted and will remain in USAF colours (or should that be colors!)

While this will probably be seized on to prove we are off to hell in a handcart, may I just opine what a sensible decision. All involved must have better things to do than carry out the calibration programme a repaint would entail. It looks good too, shades of old transport command scheme.
