250 lb of paint -- wasn't it Braniff who liked fancy colour schemes and repainted their aircraft so many times they were carrying a couple of tons of paint around and had them stripped them back to bare aluminium?

Sorry, for colour read color, for aluminium read aluminum.
I remember Braniff having wacky color schemes when I was a kid…not sure if they ran into aircraft weight issues as a result.

On this day I will wear the Smiths and something very special in remembrance of the grandfather I never met, a life cut far to short due to a gas attack.

Found it, it was American. I racked up a lot of airmiles with AA mid-70s to mid-80s so I was interested in their fleet.
