Just spotted 7651 today by the Atlantic Terminal B41, can say this: the aqua blue was fully covered by the blue wrap from the above mentions. Only 7659-7684 has the SBS paint out of ENY. 

Sooner or later the blue paint will start to peel off on the Ex SBS units. It already started happening to 7639 and 7640.

Have they started repainting/rewrapping any of the new scheme buses? I know they did a few SBS>LOCAL or LOCAL>SBS transitions but any fresh coats for buses in the standard new scheme? 

I don't see anything reflected in this thread but the first new scheme buses are 6-7 years old now, way past due for repaints/rewraps. 

5364-5438? 5987-6125? 673-810?

I know this response is very old but have not seen any transitions as of the current day of this post. 

6109, 6111, 6113, 6115-6116 and 5574-5578 are the buses that still has the SBS paint. However, no local wrap has been placed on those units. 

Although, a few C40LFs had a second repaint (531 was seen yesterday fully white/blue paint) but already listed as repainted.

1234, 1235, 1244, 1246, 1255, 1256, 1263, 1266, 1267, 1271, 1272, 1273, 1278, 1279 has the blue stripe in the front of the bus. 

These Nova units are for the section that has MTA Buses currently in the White/Blue stripe that isn't included on there

They were re-painted? If so, then my apologizes!

Ok. Thanks. I was only asking because I know the 8000-8089 series got the repaint and then the blue stripe in front.

I do apologize for the confusion on the repainted list. At first, I thought that section meant for the 2010 units to have the blue stripe like the other 2011-13 Novas. There were some units that could have a white front and others with 1/2 the stripe but, was mentioned to the list being repainted on those units.
