By mid 1983 the loco's paintwork was in a poor state so it was sent to Swansea Landore for a repaint. The Welsh depot lacked the BR Grey paint for the roof so opted to outshop Monarch in August with a blue roof instead. This was retained until Monarch was called to Doncaster Works for overhaul when it emerged in April 1985 with a grey roof.
