Reply to "Question - Repainting a Lionel steam engine - Krylon Black satin paint match."

You didn’t say what your using as far as lettering and numbers. Some form of painting will have to be done. Decals work best on a glossy surface. If your going the route Pat suggested. You can get by using Clear Gloss. Apply the decal and then hit it with Clear Gloss again. Then a final coat of Satin.

If you are using Dry Transfers. Just apply them over the black. Then seal them with Satin Clear.

If you have to use black paint. Their are a lot of spray cans available. From the large cans at Home Depot or Testors from a hobby shop.  There was a poster years ago that had good results using the SEM brand of automotive paints. Pricey for a spray can but the results in the photos he posted it looked good and was a match to what Lionel was using on their newer Hudson’s. They offer Satin Black and I’m guessing that’s what he was using.
