Jet engine paint doesn't come off :wink:

There's a reason for that... for the most part, they aren't painted.  Certainly not the hot section and tailpipe.  Some of them have painted fan cases, front frames or other parts that don't get hot.  What you see on aircraft jet engines is an outer cowling and/or the thrust reversers and there's insulation and/or cooling airspace between the engine itself and the exterior finish.
