I am planning on re-lettering a newer (2010) Lionel engine. What I have read, seems that no matter what method you use. Removing the lettering will mess up the base black paint. Before I begin this was wondering if anyone out there has used Krylon Black satin paint (rattle can) to paint just sections of a Lionel steam engine? And how well / close it matched the rest of the engine. I don't need to repaint the entire engine, just cab area and tender. The boiler will not be repainted. Is there a different brand of paint someone has used that matches better? Have checked and read the searches on relettering but couldn't find any good information on paint. Thanks
