Just checking.
Partially but the part quoted was not the joke.

The riblets actually do decrease drag, but the funny was that if its as Aero as possible it will be matte whatever color because the film will make it not glossy. It would make it look like a "3-d" image plate that has several images imbedded, instead of sleek and glossy.

I'd be more than happy to explain either in a different thread or in a message if you're interested. I mentioned it partially in the artificial feathers thread under aero, but I don't have the link handy.
