Coasters that need a re-paint

Rides that have a current paint job that just didn't stand the elements, and could use some "freshening up."

For me it's Xcelerator, Stormrunner, Scream, Nitro, and dare I say Colossus.
 
Oblivion at Alton Towers needs a re-paint - desperately! No doubt with all the focus on X-Sector next year, the area and existing rides will see a spruce up.
 
I don't think Oblivion needs a re-paint, it gives it personality.

But I do agree about Colossus, it'll look so much better with a re-paint.
 
Xcelerator doesn't need new paint, it looks fine with the fresh supports and pink track, Scream on the other hand was a dire paint scheme to begin with but now every support is about 15 different colors.
 
Two months ago I would have said Khan but now Xcelerators comes to my mind. It desperately needs to bring its shiny red back!

Superman at Parque Warner could also use a coat of paint. Since Madrid is so sunny in summer the colours have faded away. It could as well be renamed Supergay.
 
Revolution at Blackpool... I reckon a nice, cool, steel/grey would be excellent ;)
 
Have they repainted the Incredible Hulk? If not, it's looking AWFUL. There's rust on the track and stuff, it's really bad. (Unless they painted it haha)
 
^ Couldn't agree with that one more. :|

^To be fair, a lot of that is down to the mist tunnel. That's where the rustiness is at its worst.
 
^ Yes, same thing with Nemesis Inferno. I suppose there isn't really that much that can be done to prevent it. But IMO, the rusty bits should be painted up over each closed season.
 
^That's all well and fine for Nemesis Inferno (not that Thorpe would ever do something as convenient and logical as that) but a park like IoA that HAS no off season, it becomes problematic.
