Lionel 2340 GG1 - Needs Stripes - What do you all recommend?

[FEClionel]

Ok guys I gearing up my collection for holidays and I've found 2340 at my local dealer and he is willing to take a trade on my 2321 for it plus some cash. The 2340 is in very good + condition with some scratches and chips and no striping left. First is it a good trade and second what product do you all recoomend to replace the stripes. Its gonna be a runner - not a shelf queen. Any thoughts or ideas?

I can only afford one and I only need one other engine. I alrady have a set of 2343's and numerous cars and accesories but I can't afford nor do I have room for more than 2 engines! I wish I did. Which would you buy? I know the 2340 is rare because it was only made for one year. The FM is nice too. Any thoughts?
