NO WAY, Skip - I wouldn't even think of it!
My motto is "Render Into Green ONLY That Which Was Histörically Green." *
Examples being the Florence & Cripple Creek engines as delivered in the 1890's, the D&RGW K-37's as delivered from Burnham Shops in 1928 and 1930, and K-36 #489 in late May, 1950 (and possibly during the following several months until her next major shopping). I do NOT - repeat, do NOT - advocate the painting of any other equipment lettered for the D&RG(W) - locomotives, freight, passenger or MOW cars - any color or style of lettering which is not known to have been applied to said equipment by the D&RG(W).

* That includes 'Chromo Crude Triple Chocolate Stout' - but only on St. Patricks's day ...
