That might be a bit of "overkill". At one of the Gatherings years ago there was a KR that was painted a very light lavender color and did not seem to suffer any ill effects. Who was the retired military pilot that had his KR photo used by Rand in their promotional photos? Roy Marsh as I recall. It had a considerable amount of grey or silver paint on it. Larry Flesner
