Brian,

I prefer an Aluminum looking paint to silver.  I've always used Scalecoat I solvent-based Aluminum for painting brass shells.  Here are three fresh from the oven!  With the demise of Scalecoat, future E units will be done in Tru-Color TCP-013 Aluminum (below.)  Tru-Color is also a solvent-based paint, so one should be sure to prime the plastic shell with a fine surface primer like Tamiya #87064 (in a spray can.)

I have just purchased an undecorated E8 locomotive and wish to make it into E9 #9995. I have a bottle of Badger acrylic paint #16-114 Gloss Silver. Is that the best choice for my locomotive?
