FEC Ortner Car

Hi All -


I'm modeling the Cemex South Florida quarry. I'm modeling the FEC ortner cars from the 1980's/90's. I'm building the cars myself and have gotten to the point of painting them. Photos attached. Any ideas on colors?

And, any ideas on how to model graffiti? See photo.

Thank you everyone.
