After its last paint job was deemed unacceptable, the Point Loma car was stripped of its paint and is now ready for a new paint job.
While the Pine-Sol did a splendid job removing the paint, it left gooey, sticky boogerballs behind that where a real pain to remove. Scrubbing the model with Dawn dish soap on an old toothbrush helped a lot, but in the process I managed to loose a hand rail. So a new one had to be fashioned with brass wire.
Repaired, Cleaned, Sterilized, and Ready for painting.
Primed (Floquil Primer)
Interior painted with my Mahogany mix. (50/50 mix of Floquil Roof Brown with So. Freight Car Brown)
Masked
Exterior Paint (10 parts Floquil Railbox Yellow with 1 part So. Freight Car Brown)
Masked for Roof paint (Floquil Mud).
Detail painting (window sashes and bumpers(?)) with my Mahogany mix.
The Point Loma car is on the bottom. Compare this photo with the above photo and you can see that the new color is much more reasonable. Now it is the SD&SE car (center) that looks too yellow! Also compare with the photo of the original paint and I think I've pretty much nailed SDERy Yellow. Yes sir! Pretty much nailed it!
