Except the 787 isn't made of metal, so who knows what it's going to look like.

Good point, I'm sure it will have to be painted in a grayish or a metallic like silver paint. Today's paints have progressed so much where they can easily apply a silver reflective paint to keep AA's "Silver Bird" style. I'm very excited about this news!

Odd coincidence...just hours after this announcement, the Dow Jones avg (of which Boeing is a component) closed down 7.87%!

what if the fuselage were covered in a thin sheet of mylar? true it would be more suceptable to damage but it might just look closer to metal than paint.
