I thought they had figured out a dull gray finish works best for visual. Mabe the different paints have a different IR signature. That of course would be imporant verus IR homing missles.
That's what I thought was the consensus after the Matte-Black cool look actually got a F-117 shot down in Serbia.
This is going to be a nightmare for maintenance folks having to keep any of this paint touched up.
Hence my suspicion this is more for recruiting posters.
