UP modelers get to pick from 5 choices. Coal drag picked the first one. The other four are: <br /> <br />B) The same color as the ink on UP's profit-and-loss statements. <br /> <br />C) The same color their senior executives' faces should be. <br /> <br />D) Scotchlight Reflective Tape red, since that's what the striping and lettering is done with on the real deal. So get some of that tape, a straightedge and a razor blade, and start slicing (to scale, of course). <br /> <br />E) If ya gotta have a serious model RR answer, Floquil Caboose red or Scalecoat Santa Fe red have worked for me. Or there is Microscale decal striping.
