[quote user="robscaboose"] <p>I am going to paint my caboose (IC 9550) this summer. We will sand blast it & paint it with emron paint & then clear coat it. We have found that if it is not protected from sunlight, the paint will fade within a couple of years. Clear coating helps keep its shine much longer.</p><p>Also emron paint is very bad for your health, you must use a respirator.</p><p>Rob </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Emron is good stuff, just do like you said and wear a respirator. Clearing your base colors will make your paint job last longer. Without a good top coat, the sun will suck the color right out and give it a chalky look in a short time. These sound like fun projects, keep us posted.</p>
