Bill-- <br /> <br />Don't forget, though, that when these things were new, they were generally kept up well (i.e., washed with fairly strong cleaning solutions on a very regular basis), so the bright metal finish is likely going to be fine, especially if you do the demo. You might try a sample of the stuff with a light overspray of dullcote to kill the sheen, if it's too bright for you. Take a quick look at those TRE cars on the link I originally posted a couple of pages back; those exteriors have been reworked and cleaned and they are definitely bright. A slightly dulled metallic coat might be just about right. Now , if it's been in service for a while without much ext. maintenance, well that's another story. <br /> <br />Let us all know how it turns out.
