Glen:
 
I forwarded your query on to Al Hoffman, who imported the cars under the Aurora Shops banner.  Hopefully you'll hear directly from him.

Subject: [CBQ] Aurora Shops Limited Heavyweight Passenger Cars

 

I have a question about the finish over the top of the brass on heavyweight passenger cars built by Aurora Shops Limited.  Were these undecorated brass cars finished with a dull, flat simulated brass finish over the original brass (rather than a clear coat)?
 
I purchased one of these cars second-hand with a poor paint job.  I can't seem to get it stripped down to the original brass.  It appears to have some sort of dull, flat simulated brass finish which I can't seem to cut with any kind of paint remover.  I have used paint stripper and even brake fluid.  I haven't tried lacquer thinner yet.
 
I am trying to figure out if I can quit the stripping process at this point and repaint, or if I need to keep stripping the car more.
