Re: [CBQ] SSS for BRHS Modernized Coach

[Kenneth Martin <kmartin537@surewest.net>]

   I painted one but did not use decals as I am not sure they were 
available then. First I painted it silver and let it dry thoroughly. 
Then I masked the roof, doors, ends, windows etc. Then I got some thin 
auto striping tape (1/16"?) and laid them out leaving about an equal 
amount between them for both the letterboard and lower part, then added 
masking for the number. I then sprayed it with a medium to dark gray, do 
NOT use black. The lower part is fine, the letterboard is a little big 
as it has narrower fluting but I couldn't find narrower tape.

The best part was I showed it to a friend who worked in a LHS and he 
looked at it for 10 minutes before he realized it was painted and not 
etched.
