Lionel (and MTH as well) over the years have issued a number of engine models unpainted with the die cast and brass parts exposed. Was wondering if anyone has ever gotten one of these engines painted? And what was required to do the painting? The look like they are clear coated to protect the raw metal. Figuring the clear coat would have to be removed prior to painting. And if an engine was repainted who did the job? Thanks
