Thanks for putting up with my incessant questions.

I think the metal and ply areas on Fokkers were spray painted.
The axle wings were ply covered, without any fabric on top and I think painted in solid enamel colours. Any streaking you may see in photos is now pretty conclusively (for me at any rate) put down to engine oil staining.
