Because our President represents America locally and around the world, he travels with a large group of useful people plus a bunch of journalists, so flying southwest in coach is probably out.

No.  My question was a legitimate technical question.  After some inspection, I can see where the contractor and Executive butted heads.  And I can see where the contractor won the argument.  An argument that never should have happened.  I hate stupid stuff.  This is stupid stuff.

Modern planes have a lot of composite bits and pieces. All those need to be painted. Polished airplanes are also a total pain in the ass as far as upkeep goes.

To the guy who said paint the top all red. On an area that big, white paint is a shit ton lighter in weight, cooler in temp, and cheaper.

Absolutely terrible, looks like some basic second-tier airline. It looks like it could be the default 747 in X-plane or some other game.

Could we maybe get an actual graphic designer involved? AF1 should be stunning, something that represents the excellence of America. It also needs to look superior to the planes every other peasant-class country shows up in for the UN general assembly.

I took a look at his last budget proposal, I don't think Trump gives two fucks about the expense.

I think it looks OK. Same as old livery, looks OK. Would be cool to see it with no paint and just polished aluminum.

I somehow missed the gold stripe at first.

On the second view, I really do like it. I can’t say it’s better than the current, but it’s about as good....just different.

Don't mind it at all, and in the long run, I don't think it matters much at all, what the President can do in the plane is far more important than what it looks like..

As long as the new paint scheme is easier to apply and maintain than the current one I'm OK with it.  Looking forward to the day that "Robins Egg Blue" is purged from the PAGs inventory.

Why not keep the top, and replace the baby blue bottom with red?  The layout has become sort of iconic, but the colors could use a tweak.

Like AF1 and a good portion of the fleet in general, they'll be kept flying with exponential increases in maintenance cost & down time.

The blue is too dark and the red looks more like maroon.

Definitely not an improvement over the current paint scheme.

A dark color "swell" over the front end just looks better than a flat beltline, because of the fuselage bulge.

The important improvement is all the crap they hopefully upgraded inside.  These planes are from the late 80s and rarely get lengthy overhauls.
