Think you missed the point. What I was getting at is the livery was cleary designed for the Dreamliner (although I still maintain it should be called House colours) as it is the first Boeing jet which actually needs to be painted. It must kill them that it was first painted on the 787 which is yet to get even close to the sky, yet here we have several others already flying. Nothing to do with the delay, more to do with the fact it hasn't even flown yet and not likley to fly for a while yet.
So much for the record build, certification delivery plans.
