Painting The Red Coaches

[thomasj219]

Hey all,

I'd like to paint the red coaches' roofs   white to match the classic series.

Any recommendations on which paint to use?

I would just like to recommend Tamiya Flat White XF2.

Awesome! But wouldn't it have to be a slight gloss to match the paint work of the coaches?

You could also apply a clear gloss coat to the roof to make it match, or a clear matte coat to the coach bodies to match the roof paint. Although, I think that you could probably find a gloss version of white paint. I'd also recommend putting a coat of primer on the roofs to help the white paint stick better.

Brilliant! I'll do just that. Thanks so much man.
