Reply to "Repainting a diesel locomotive my way......"

Just a FYI, try a sample piece with the primer dried then apply the color, just make sure everything works with the paint.
Had several problems even using the same brand paint and applying the next color or clear after a week of drying. Did a Lionel 623 with a primer which looked good applied a Krylon black and the paint attacked the plastic giving a crustoleum paint job. This happened years ago and finally picked up another shell (one of my project waiting to be done). I also had a experience with  Lionel 248 prewar engine. The chassis flag stanchions were polished and masked the primer waited a week did the black on the frame. So far all is good. removed the masking on the flag stanchions and sprayed clear on the frame and stanchions. The clear cracked all of the black. Had to re-strip the frame and tried it again, same problem. Did this 3 times then I figured it was best just to brush the clear on the brass flag stanchions avoiding this problem. All the same brand paint but different colors
