Final dull coat on GN S-2, Burlington O-5/B and Milwaukee S-3.
Using scalecoat satin gloss (seems like an oxymoron!) I did a 'production line' on the four engines and sprayed all four at once. Only room for one engine 'at a time' in the toaster oven so the other three were put on cookie sheets with aluminum foil to await their turn to be 'cooked'.
All the painting gets 'shot' out in the detached shop where I run a torpedo heater to warm it up during the painting. Keeps the house free of odors.
After shooting the satin, I noticed a few nicks where the brass was showing (not always easy to see on shiny black) and a few specks of silver that were on the boiler side, probably there when hand painting the fire boxes and used a toothpick to put some black paint on them and re-shoot the satin (don't grade me on my long sentence!).
I'm partial to the satin look on the engines and it seals in the decals and makes the edges disappear plus a protective coating to the paint.
