Re: [SilverStreak] Painting the logos

Santa Fe, Eddie.  We're at 7,000 ft, and the skies are usually startlingly clear.  Plastic 
disintegrates here in no time at all, and you can practically watch wood age.  ;)

I just found out that Model Master paints have trouble adhering unless you've cleaned your 
surface well with alcohol or Windex (and I intend to), but that once they're on, they're on for 
good.  Clean-up is a bear, so one needs to use disposable tools.  I still like them because 
they have "Stop Light Red."

I forgot to include links for the different types of paint that I mentioned so people can look at 
the reds and help me decide which one is best:
