Northwest's grey engines

I see some early pictures of the old Northwest livery, like this one, and they have grey engine nacles in them. I was wondering when Northwest decided to stop painting them grey.

Thanks,

By checking carefully Airliners.net, you could certainly determine an approximate date. But I don't have the patience to do it...

Good luck, nwa757 !

By looking on Airliners.net I've determined that the change over happened some time between 1990 and 1991

Was the white paint cheaper than the grey one?

Anyway, its a really strange scheme.
