Lets be honest, some aircraft would look stunning even without a livery!

To be honest, the liveries Concorde did wear were fairly minimal!

Yeah, I know, skin surface heating and all...
Although, a polished aluminium Concorde - what would that be like? (Might not work if Concorde was painted with the anti-corrosive yellow zinc chromite which Garry told me was painted onto other British and European designs...)

Concorde had to be painted white to keep the temperature within limits.
The Pepsi Concorde was speed limited due to the colour.
So white was the only practicle colour.
Any aircraft can be stripped down to bare metal but there is no point and it would take a lot to get it up to a high sheen and get corrosion problems.
