Dear Kerbal Ship Design Team

[Shades]

Due to numerous complaints by one Jebediah Kerman, we are now forced to ask : Why can't we change the colours of ship parts? having come so far as a space agency (we only crashed 8 ships this week so far) the Kerman brothers feel that the explosions would look a lot better if the ship was painted hot-rod red with gold trims.

The Science division assures me that such a thing might be possible, and they agree that the explosions would look better.

Sincerely 

Houser Kerman

Kerbal In Charge of Complaints Department

P.S Kindly remind Val that liquid fuel is not suitable as "wake-up juice"

White paint is lightest and it would add more edges cases to the DeltaV calculator if it needed to consider heavier paint colour schemes like Red with Gold.
