Exterior:

 

New Overall Matterhorn White Fuselage Paint with a Three Different Color Blue Stripes, Dark Blue, Medium Blue, and Light Blue that are in Good Condition.  The Engine Nacelles and Wings Have Been Stripped of All Paint and are Now Highly Polished Giving this Part of the Aircraft Exterior a Very Striking and Stainless Steel Look.  This is a recommendation reduces the possibility for Engine Lightening Strikes, and many Metros (stretched Merlins with 19 seats/Commuter Metro Liners) do the same.
