RE: [CBQ] Zephyr Lettering on Stainless Steel

["Phil" <pstepek@sbcglobal.net>]

the rough surface beneath the lettering is true, however, epoxy paint does
pretty well adhering to stainless.
 It what I used to reletter Silver Ridge in 2004, and it still looks fine.

Joe-
AFAIK the stainless steel had to be acid etched to provide enought "tooth"
for the paint to adhere, but the lettering on passenger car letterboards, E5
unit nameboards,
etc. was paint on stainless steel. When the car names and roadname were
removed they flipped the nameboard over because the etching would still
"ghost" the name even if the paint were removed.

The old lettering was probably also decals, since paint doesn't hold well to
stainless steel.
