Thanks for the background guys. Back in 93 on the FL9M program I was told we were using that livery because it’s the only one we already had and wouldn’t need to reinvent the wheel. Now I know where it came from, and the puzzle is complete.

Yes, but you said CDOT has never managed an overhaul and referenced Mafersa’s so what’s your point?

The Mafersa's basically had truck overhaul COTS and paint job by Kawasaki in Yonkers but that was it.
CTDOT managed the remanufacture of the GP-40s in 1996-7.
