Don't worry Hank,
When we were putting the Grayhound scheme on 844 many years ago, I was up on a ladder in the Roundhouse doing some masking.
I had a couple of "enthusiasts" come in and one asked me if I was going to "Paint it like the Prototype".
I looked at him and said "This IS the prototype". I could paint it purple with big yellow flowers and it would STILL be the prototype and if I painted it that way it would suddenly become a prototype paint job." I worked the rest of the day in relative peace.
