You would think the Air New Zealand All Blacks painted aircraft would have to suffer a similar problem - faster.

Dark colours absorb more UV light, meaning the sun damages the paint quicker than a light colour that would reflect the UV away.

Contact Virgin Australia, offer to buy the paint and pay for replacement aircraft while VH-VBJ is out and you got yourself a deal!
