Painting a Lionel GP7 shell
Posted by Boyd on Friday, August 17, 2007 12:08 PM
I am planning on painting a GP7 shell to DM&E colors blue  and yellow. Do I  need to  strip the shell I have? The shell is factory CNW 8375.

Modeling the "Fargo Area Rapid Transit" in O scale 3 rail.

IT depends I think some Lionel shells have colored plastic so you would have to paint over that.  If it is actually painted on I would say you should use paint stripper.
