I painted this Tootsietoy kerosene truck. Next time I'll use primer. I think the color might have come out more even had I bothered to try to find where I left it. Never painted a die cast car before. It's probably small for O scale, but doesn't seem too out of place next to my Marx train.
Nice! I have been buying the 5.5 to 6 inch Tootsietoy cars lately and they are a bit larger and seem to go better with the O gauge trains.
I am planning on painting several of the Tootsietoy items this summer, as I am primarily buying junkers or already repainted inexpensive items.

I’d be interested to see how they look with your trains. I just stripped a 5.5in 55 Packard Tootsietoy that might look good with O scale. Junkers and repaints are also my choice.
Here are some of the cars and trucks that I have bought so far. Just kind of grouped in one area.
Some of the Tootsietoy repaints 3 Jaguars, 2 Mercedes, Austin-Healy, and MG
Tootsietoy Caddy and Hubley Rambler wagon.
Couple of Oldsmobile convertibles and Ford Wagon
Some of the items needing repainting in the front row from right to left, Tootsietoy Lincoln Capri, Porsche Spyder, Buick Wagon. In the back row from left to right a Hubley Lincoln Continental, Hubley Ranchero, and Tootsietoy Ford Wagon.
They look relatively good and should be easy to paint. Can also have multiple items, just paint them differing colors.
