There's also that MkXIV Spitfire that's bright red. I was told that he
gets
criticised about the colour and tells people to get their own ***ing
Spitfire and paint it whatever colour they like.

Where I live we have a woman driving a hot pink Ford LTD with the number
saying pinkpinkpink and a sticker across the back window that says
"because I can"

This is one of those "but I vaguely remember..." sort of replies, BUT:

Wasn't there a P-51 ten or twenty years ago being flown on the airshow
circuit in those colors? If I recall correctly, it was owned by a
female pilot who was criticized for painting a warbird in hot pink;
she identified the colors as the Egypt campaign desert livery and the
complaints abated.

I don't remember details. Anyone else?

Your recollection is close. It was a P-40 and AFAIK there was never
any
outcry about the Desert Pink. I know I have a picture of it somewhere.

I do....Forbes Field Topeka, KS
