There has been an issue with the original primer which Boeing used on a lot of the Y registered aircraft.

They need to go back to the paint shop, complete strip back to metal, correct primer applied, and new paint job to finish!

Big job, but better than dealing with corrosion issues on such new airframes...

hope that's a warranty job!

Meanwhile inflight internet announced for 737, A330, 777.
