CV is just a division of CN. CN has been very slowly starting to repaint all the flats. The new scheme is almost identical to the old one, just with a smaller logo on the bar side, and a few minor changes. I've seen CVs with this paintjob, so they will also be getting the same treatment, but it looks like they are going at it really slow. Just whenever they have a few free they repaint them I guess. Or if they come in for major work. Paint them...they will run...maybe it will get repainted in 4 months, maybe it will be the last one ever repainted....risk it.

ESE , that was sick , i read that whole page..........

some cars , i know the transit ones here have some sort of coating that makes paint not adhere , it just doesnt dry and runs and drips , you can wipe it of with a damp cloth .....
