NO two Q modelers will ever agree on what the F-unit gray should be, so find what you like and paint away.

Model Railroader Paint Shop suggested four parts reefer white and on part reefer gray. I’ve also heard nine parts reefer white and one part reefer gray, so you may have to experiment to get a shade that looks good to you. The BRHS paint chart suggests Model Flex CB&Q Imitation Aluminum, but I find it too gray. In sunlight, a clean Grayback looked almost white. Intermountain F units look better to me than P2K F units, which are a little too dark with a very slight  yellowish tint to my eye.
