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...

VH-ZPJ departed for Nashville yesterday and is the last of the 5 Ejets that were sold earlier this year. On Wednesday VH-ZPF flew to Marana AZ for long term storage, joining VH-ZPG and about 16 other Ejets parked there.
