If you want the GP9 in Zebra stripe, find a photo on-line and send Scott an email with a link to the picture. He will probably then add it to the list. That is what I did for the GP7 and the photo that appears on the reservation page is the one for which I sent the link.
I have tried this approach (see my post to this thread dated April 15th above). So far I've had no luck in getting Scott to add the CNJ paint scheme I requested, or reply to my email stating a reason (or reasons) for not wanting to offer it. This is by no means meant as criticism...I fully realize that Scott is a busy man, with repeated trips to and from China and a lot of other stuff on his plate...and I'm just one person asking for something very specific.
I also realize that I'm a "new guy" to Scott and 3rd Rail/Sunset. I have not yet purchased anything from them (and therefore have no "customer relationship" established), so I may not have Scott's ear the same way some of you do. But now that they are offering both a model and road name that suits my interest, I sure would like to become a customer! I tend to be quite persistent, so if anyone here has an alternative suggestion/recommendation for how I should make my case/request, I'm all ears!
