Whether they have a full repaint or just have the vinyls removed (with associated sticky grime) is anyone's guess.
Edit: followed 5336 earlier and although the bodywork was questionable in places, the removal of its vinyls hadn't appeared to have left too many remnants, if at all. The silhouettes were still on of the people, but other branding associated with the 9 brand seemed to have gone.
I doubt they'll go through the effort of repainting the Citaros again, especially when they'll probably not be here that much longer. I'd imagine they'll just do what they did with the 49 and just remove the vinyls.
With a couple of the 49s, removing the vinyls removed the paint underneath so you could see the bare metal, I'd imagine even in cases like that they'd just touch it up rather than do a repaint
