1. Germans didnt accept Soviet colours because of its quality. German aviation paint were matt, but Soviet - a bit glossing, and in flight it shined on sun and demasking.

2. Also, hundreds of aircrafts (both German and Finnish) were painted in new color. You may just calculate how much paint Germans had to "capture" to paint theyr aircrafts
