I also prefer the stainless steel roof color.  Were the black painted roofs really only a 1970's change?  So, the roofs were unpainted stainless steel up until the early 1970's?  I know a lot of people look at black and white photos of stainless steel passenger cars and swear they have black roofs when they were really just dirty roofs!  It seems then that the roofs should be unpainted stainless steel, unless you are modeling a 1970's train.

Let me go digging a little bit more, but AFAIK most of the repainting (and addition of heralds by the doors) was done in the early 70's. I'm sure there were exceptions, as goes with most everything on the SOU.

I think the general consensus will be to stick with stainless.  I'll buy the spray paint for those who want them black. Herald decals are another story.
