I wouldn't be surprised if  6040 - 6050 get the new paint scheme soon.

If I happen to see them in the new paint scheme, I will get a picture for sure. I can't wait.

I would've expected them to start painting older buses that are more in need of a paint job, than having a relatively new bus like 2823 being amongst the first to be repainted.

Reminder: "Would have expected" and WMATA don't go in the same sentence.

They'll paint the older buses the day before they are retired.

Now, that's definitely the NYCTA way.  No kidding!  They've repainted numerous buses only to strip them within a few months.

Didn't Empty A do the same thing, and replace old flipdots with LEDs in buses that were slated for replacement months later?

I can't wait to see the NABIs in the new paint scheme. As told by WMATA Employee, the Flxibles will go through an overhaul, making them look new again.
