If RAF painters and finishers are doing it they'll be gobsmacked at that price. Planes do wear paint off with friction, so it probably needed doing anyway. Why not have the plane our countries leader occasionally uses look a bit groovy?
On the radio tonight. Boris, rather hesitantly, quoted a risk figure of 1 in 1760. I think that's familiar to everybody as the number of yards in a mile. Made me think he was just saying the first thing that came into his head.

Your ‘everybody’ is, I’m afraid a gross, gross overestimation.
If ‘everybody’ knew, they would instantly know what it means in feet, furlongs, chains, cricket wickets, fathoms (if talking of depth).
It’s not just any old number, you know!
Actually I was just thinking he Needs Corbyn and Campbell in a similar situation to make oup a foursome. Then we stick the menage a quatre around the base of the spare Plinth in Traf Square and Boris on top. Then an old song springs to mind.
"I live in Trafalgar square with four Morons to guard me"....

Funnily enough, the Rhodesians painted their Canberras brown and they were quite difficult to spot at altitude, better than the standard RAF mix of the time. I remember seeing a cooler photo taken during trials, and bless me, they were right.

The Nimrods were painted hemp mainly to blend in with the grey concrete of the pans they sat on at Kinloss, harder for spy satellites to see them apparently. Worked pretty well until the bays were later resurfaced .. with black tarmac as seen below. You'll also see in this picture, right under the Nimrod, a pink hangar. The other three are green. Apparently my old service struggled with not just painting one jet the right colour. Painting four hangars the same colour was a challenge too.
Given this level of colour disability Boris's new jet will look like this ..
Absolutely. Spent a career in hotels from Las Vegas to Malaysia with my well paid backside adorning many of the worlds finest fabrics as I contemplated going to the bar after my four hours work with my pockets stuffed full of allowance beer vouchers.
