Composite planes wouldn't look like that if you just gave them a clear coat.

The new silver paint is much more silver and more consistent than the old gray paint, it's just less silver than aluminium.

The new livery looks cool too, deal with it.

Composite planes don't look so good with clear coat. The reason for only clear coating the planes was to save weight and thus fuel. They had significant fuel savings on long flights thanks to it.

They still kept all the parts chrome that can be chrome. I wish they went with a brighter pearlescent white so it doesn't look bad on cloudy days.

Hated it when they first came out with it, but really warmed up to it since then. Only nitpick is the new eagle, wish they kept/slightly redesigned the old one.

Also, props to them for not falling for the Euro-White "swoosh livery" meme. The billboard lettering is also very well done.

If the color of a plane is that important to you, you don't have a life to end.

You're wrong dude, the new livery is much better.

Same thing for Alaska's new paint job.

That stupid looking tail

The tail only looks interesting (and has constrast and detail) when close up and on the ground. It's an awful while flying or in on approach.

Also different planes have tail sections angled differently. It looks monstrous on the A319 and B757 while at the same time being inadequate on the A333.

If they were going to go this route a better tail would have had a very dark grey for contrast (of the red) and brighter and slightly more reflective chrome coat for the stars-spangled portion.

Keeping the thin white cheat lines as they are would have produced the best (and most subtle) livery.
