You could read "The Black Sheep: The Definitive Account of Marine Fighting Squadran 214 in the WWII" by Bruce Gamble. Though I can not recall any pilots "wanted or had the pain remove from his AC"

Yes, paint. Thx shooshoobaby, sorry mars.

I was watching "war stories with Oliver North", unless my hearing is bad. I could have sore that they said one of the pilots wanted or had his corsair's paint remove to have only the metal surface exposed. So the Japs can see him better.
