Outstanding, both in terms of explanation of what you did and the result.

Regarding the UP red striping, I have seen the original color duplicated accurately on decals. It is not easy to cut and apply decal striping in long straight lengths, however, and then it has to be overcoated with clear (usually Dullcote) to make sure it sticks and does not flake off. But even that would not be a guarantee of matching the K-Line color, which was probably applied over the yellow used for the car sides.

Anyway, it all depends on how the car itself looks to your eye. This page, on how UP engine and passenger car colors come out on the internet, was an eye opener to me in terms of trying to match what you can see in photos: http://utahrails.net/up/up-paint-html.php
