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

AMCDAVE,

I appreciate what you are doing. Part of my enjoyment of the hobby is building kits, scratchbuilding, and getting what I want without waiting for the manufacturer's/importers to make it or not. This step-by-step post, especially about paint compatibility and drying times is very informative.

I'm deep into building 15 LaBelle passenger car kits, and have 5 completed. My paint experience has evolved from okay, to fair, to good, and hopefully the next one will be great. The primer/sealer coat is critical on wood (no matter what the Scalecoat can or bottle instructions may say), and drying times between coats, along with paint types are critical.

Any time one builds a kit, scratchbuilds, or repaints an item, the expense goes up, so posting a tried and true method of painting methods is valuable.

Thanks for posting the methods that work for you.
