[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Don Gibson [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by jwaldo I plan on buying a replacement shell for my blue box GP60. Do the replacement shells come painted or will I need to paint it myself? [/quote] UNPAINTED. I used to order Athearn 'Dummy's' to get a painted shell. The price was cheap enough that i'd just throw away the chassis. If you want custom painting, $100 to $150 per engine is current pricing, and cost of aquiring painting equipment - pressurized Tank, ventilation box, etc - is BIG bucks. [/quote] My original plan was to buy a dummy unit, use it's shell, and put the old shell on the dummy chassis for the scrapyard, but I can't find a dummy GP60 anywhere :( As for painting, I have a basic airbru***hat will get the job done. It's putting decals on that bothers me. It's something I'm notoriously bad at [xx(]
