Hello Chuck

Thank you. I feel the pain with repainting a certain model due to its scarcity, having been restoring old PW Lionel and AF over the years, I have seen $1k plus items that were repainted by hand into some home road.

Unfortunately, when modelling Canadian roads, items are scarce that accurately resemble the prototype as they are of limited run usually. Atlas had the ideal GP9 done with the barrel headlight etc but good luck finding a pair.

Anyways, back to the project at hand.

I masked off the grey and sprayed approx 4 coats of maroon. Paint bleed was minimal and will be touched up with brush before I apply decals.

I also wish to give a big thank you to Mario for setting me up with 2 sets of Sureway coupler pockets and shims. Looking forward to getting them installed on the fixed pilots!

Here are some pics of the progress

Have a Safe weekend!
