Interesting.... paint for possible daytime ops maybe?


Exactly. From http://www.af.mil/photos/index.asp?galleryID=27

A Nighthawk in Raptor's clothing
HOLLOMAN AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- An F-117 Nighthawk sits in its
hangar after being repainted. The aircraft, owned by the 53rd
Test and Evaluation Group's Detachment 1 here, was repainted gray
as part of a test to determine whether the F-117 can have a role
in daytime combat operations. Normally painted black, the stealth
fighters are used for night missions. (U.S. Air Force photo by
Airman 1st Class Vanessa LaBoy)
