Learning to patch, repaint, and 2 rail rolling stock

Another victim, this time an NP Diffco car.  Same process as before, except the NP markings were patched out using a black gloss enamel paint pen.  After it was sprayed with a flat clear coat, it is hard to see where the paint pen was used.  Decals went on better as the factory finish wasn't affected under the decals.

Here is the car before mods:

After using the paint pen, before the flat clear coat.:

The metal base was tapped with #2-56 threaded holes for the Kadees, and a partial shim was required to compensate for the height difference between the end sill and bottom of the car.

I did an Atlas AGP car by covering the AGP with black decal film from  MicroScale. Worked really well.
