I've seen/worked on/owned several 390A's that I think came through St Julien's Creek
and a huge number of them had been "refurbed" by the military. It seems part of
the refurb was a repaint with grey or green spray paint, and amazingly enough
just a light coat of paint remover gets the yellow stripe and repaint job off and
I can see the original paint (far more durable) underneath.
