So how does a paint job cause a crash exactly? AND SHOW YOUR WORK!

That was not the reason they discontinued the paint scheme, and repainted
all of the ones that were painted like that.

It was superstition on the public's part. It was said to look like a
Chinese funeral banner, whatever that means.

According to Wikipedia, only one other plane was painted like the accident one,
another 747-400. With all the publicity about the crash, and photos splashed
about showing how the plane had been painted, I'm not surprised Singapore
repainted the remaining one.

But as you say, it wasn't the cause of the crash.
