This is a special JQ low cost paint shop feature. You'll notice that each and every A330 and A320 comes painted in a new and unique shade of silver. I imagine it will cost a lot to get Boeing to come up with a different silver each time one of these pops off the end of the construction line.
It will be interesting after 12 months to see all the different shades of silver after all the mix and matching of parts and repairs undertaken after the Rampies have dented a few cargo doors and panels! Yep I can sure see that you beaut composite material copping a workout. I just hope somebody told Joyce that although these aircraft don't need maintenance and can even fly themselves, they will still need panel beating
