I was wondering how many SD40-2s did BNSF repaint into their new swoosh paint scheme because I am finding it difficult to find pictures of them on the internet. Well I have found two pictures but they are not that great for what I want to do with them. Is the problem just me not looking hard enough or is it because only a handfull of SD40-2s were repainted. The reason why I am looking for some pictures is because I want to replace the plastic grabirons on my Kato SD40-2 with metal ones and need some pictures so I know what color to paint them. Any help will be appreciated.
I'm not sure how many are out there.
But the link below, with pictures of BNSF 6821, was very useful for an SD40-2 swoosh Microsoft Train Sim relettering job I did a while back. Be sure to look at all 3 pages of pictures...most of the "swoosh" pictures are on pages 2 and 3.

And here's a photo of the relettered version I did for MSTS:
