i have looked at bajillions of photos of f-35s just to figure out if the "z13" overcoat still has the light grey RAM or not.
i THINK it does in areas that'd be easy to paint (such as the trailing edge of the elevators, leading edge of the wings and intakes, etc), with the other bits that used to have it being the same colour as the main body but without the metallic sheen. that said, because of how unique of a finish the f-35 has, it's fucking impossible to confidently say if this is true or not because sometimes it all blends into one color and sometimes it's a very stark difference
