Jim,
It might be better to repaint, cause you'll have to touch up the low nose anyhow when you install the low nose lights. Conversely, Mother's 2nd rule: Judicious weathering hide multitude of sin. Rule 1 being, of course: Don't let go/forget where your beverage is!!.

This new one shows 2066 in service with the former passenger yard tracks (then used as RIP tracks ) in the background. Note that this unit has no anti-skid material on the nose. Best guess is that when repainted the application of that material was left to the discretion of the shop crew. to model anti skid material, I might try some decal material painted flat black and cut to size. As for the base for the antennae, I plan to use a piece of round sprue turned to the size of the DA SP antennae with a hole in it for the cable, inserted into a appropriate sized hole on the roof so the height can be adjusted without trying to cut the base to the proper thickness. Those are my current thoughts on the subject. I have one of the early Proto 2000 units with the too dark grey roof and I am still debating on whether to repaint the roof or just weather it!
