need a recomendation of a tinplate painter

Here is a place that does restoration work.

Larry

thanks larry ,I ask them and they don't do any modern day tinplate,i should have said it was an mth shell,,,,sorry for that ommission

That's odd; "no modern". Metal is metal more or less. 

  Stripping the new paint may be harder, topcoating harder too,  fear of electronic and disassembly might be issues. I have to think you got a knee jerk reaction, vs one that was thought about. Or they have enough business not to bother. But maybe they would bite if it was offered just as a shell to be repainted?  

I would ask why not anyhow, you never know why otherwise.

Terry, is it just the shell you want re-done?  do you have it all pulled apart? I can help you .....you can call me if you wish....(252) 336-2600... I restore antique cars for a living and standard gauge for myself.....let me know..

you can try   toytrainrepair.net  he repaired a 392e motor for me but no paint work and his turnaround is slow

thanks guys for all your help, senior moment I rememberd a guy I used in the past,for postwar, and he said yes,thanks again

Also consider Joe Mania. His work is terrific. He color matches with DuPont auto paint 

thanks jim
