looking at that mesh over carbon skin it is really hard to imagine how any paint can adhere long term there given the flight conditions, temp changes ,vibration, etc. Went out of curiosity to check out how Boeing solves the issue on 787 and voila, Boeing didn't disappoint : https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-removed-lightning-strike-safety-feature-787-dreamliner-faa-report-2019-12 https://www.businessinsider.com/boeing-removed-lightning-str... "Boeing removed a feature that protects its 787 planes during lightning strikes as a cost-cutting measure, even after FAA experts objected" Mind you, that is 2019, after the 737 MAX crashes, it is like the 787 department just didn't get the memo. Or may be there weren't any memo inside Boeing.
