Morpar, I have seen a set of Athearn C and O 34' hopper cars that are 2 bay and has smooth panels as a experiment. These are painted silver with black lettering. Maybe this will help. Mines rely on steady supply and did not view hopper color as necessary. I have to say that black or red was the going colors because it was cheaper for the prototype to paint them that way. I encourage you to paint them any way you like. It is your railroad and there are alot of ways to paint hoppers. (Or anything else for that matter) Good Luck, Lee
