Bill -
You have a real problem there, because the NE-12 and NE-13 stripes, heralds
and end panels were not painted on - they were ScotchLite (tm) appliques.
The base color was standard duPont metallic aluminum. CB&Q red was the same
duPont number as Santa Fe warbonnet red, and black is simply black (I can't
give you numbers, because I no longer have my research files.)
Anyway, you won't find painting diagrams for the silver waycars, because it
wasn't paint.
