Hi Bill In spite of your agony, the finish on your RDCs looks great. Much more "scale" in appearance than nickle plating or aluminum paint. Your techniques would lend themselves to any other stainless steel equipment. Perhaps you should contribute this to a major hobby mag.
The finish you describe appears similar to the liquid chrome with black under base kit that automotive body supplier eastwood.com has available. I hope your paints didn't cost you a hundred bucks! This finish also appears to be similar to the marvelous livery the MacLaren Formula 1 cars wear. Their paint gives their cars' bodies the appearance of having been machined from a metal billet. Where did you source your paints and in what quantity? cheers Jim > On June 2, 2013 at 6:38 AM Bill Lane <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > > I finished my new RDC page<http://www.lanestrains.com/S_Scale_PRSL_RDC.htm> > yesterday.
