I recently purchased plans from Plane Bricks for its new B-17. It’s made in
light bluish grey along with yellow accent markings.
After watching the brilliant “Masters of the Air” Apple TV series, I want to
build it in metallic silver or olive green. Do you know of a simple way to recolor
any visible parts to the original colors en masse (realizing that all of the
pieces might not even be available in those colors).
I tried uploading a wanted list in Bricklink then moving it into Rebrickable
where you can swap colors (if you have a pro subscription) on MOCs you have purchased.
But this is not a purchased MOC from Rebrickable so that function does not work.
Any suggestions on how to do this? It could be a very manual process and it’s
also difficult to determine which parts are even visible in the MOC without building
it first.
(Moved your post: the Colors topic is part of the reference catalogue.)

If you only have PDF or paper instructions… you can still build it in Studio
first.
Otherwise, in a Wanted List here, you can select parts and then click on the
“Color” button at the top of the list and you’ll be able to change the colours
of all the selected items. But then, you need to know which parts to select.
You could use BrickStore to change the colors.
Parts that do not exist in the colors you are looking for, are in split second
visible.
I use this method for re-coloring MOCs.
