that used to be true, but with graf more commonplace these days, it's not such a big deal. the numbers and other railroad information is all they're concerned about. when it was short line railroads yeah, it got buffed, but not so much these days. BNSF has been the most consistent with repainting when leases expire, but companies have turned to leasing a number of cars instead of a set to improve turnaround time and to keep up with other forms of transportation, so the current day leases are much different than in the past.
