Bill, You're right about the costs. I started using automotive primer
when I last painted my GP-30's. I obtained some advise on the Sn3 list
I think. Well the recommended product was no longer available, but I
did leave the store with well over $100 in paint, thinner and some now
forgotten but necessary product. Other than some E units and my old
FEF, I don't plan on painting that many more models.
BTW, I just picked up a new camera--36 MP-- really sweet and super
sharp. Trouble is now I have to upgrade all the software to make it
purr. Since boB is also a shooter, he would quickly agree that updating
camera software aka PhotoShop is much more difficult than DCC!

The Jade Green which I was told later was auto paint on a RRM bay
window caboose was the most difficult paint to strip I ever had up to
that time. It laughed at whatever I dunked it in. I eventually had to
use "Tal Strip" which is a very nasty spray gel. If it drips on you
count to 3 and it will tell you where it is. The Jade Green eventually
came off -- after 3 coats of the Tal Strip.
The problem with using an auto paint is it is not available in smaller
quantities. How often would you need even a quart of the same color?
Thank You,
