The next night I put it in the stripper a couple times and ended up with a nice yellow plastic for painting the classic Ann Arbor Railroad (DT&I) Orange.
Another round of stripping and cleaning resulted in a plow ready to paint
After letting it dry and sit overnight I started painting it this morning, first coat (my orange mix is sitting to the right):
And then after the 2/ 3rd coat
After letting it dry and getting some touch up done I put the plow back on its trucks, the paint is pretty glossy and my light throws it off a bit. I have some more touch up to do, but overall it is a decent paint job. I need to order decals to do the plow in the ferry and the fog paint scheme.
Still to come are adding detail parts including a new horn, headlight above the cab, some detail painting and possibly a little more touchup. And of course the decals which I will order tonight or tomorrow after I find the appropriate set on the web.
