i have used powdered chalks a shade lighter that the original color scrub it into the finish…will lighten the color of the car as well as make the lettering look faded
as far as the chalk I use Nupastel artist’s pastels that I “powder” by scraping withan exacto knife
Years ago I saw a couple Railbox cars that had been exposed to something that had changed the yellow to a very pale pink.
