JOHNNIEWALKER,
Real nice paint job...would like to know your process on how you got such great results!

First off thanks for the compliment , I do appreciate it. The engine was painted by Lionel and I took the boiler to an auto body shop and had them match the color. I had them make me a spray can of the green, which was a flat green and I also had them make me a clear gloss top coat. I sprayed the tender 3 times with the green and I sprayed 5 coats of clear on. My prep work consisted of using a scotchbrite pad to scuff up the gunmetal paint and then wiping it down with a clean rag. I just had to make sure I didn't over spray it each time, light coats is the trick. then I waited a full 5 days before I even considered putting it back together. That was the hard part for me,LOL.
