Great idea from joseywales.  If I were to do it again I would use that.  This was some years ago but I used Floquil solvent based primer and airbrush because of the fine pigment to minimally obscure detail.  I used a common paint stripper first and thoroughly cleaned the diecast shell with dish detergent and a LOT of rinsing.  So far the finish has held up quite well. In comparison to my other engines I think only an expert could tell if this was a repaint using the satin black.  The giveaway would be the dry transfer white numbers.
