Norfolk Southern are painted black...but which one?

Let me tell you from expirience, Primers are almost NEVER worth it. the only time you need a primer is if you know you need to protect the shell.

Just strip the shell. Priming coats generally are painful, and they tend to fill in details (as does excessive paint).


You'll have to strip it anyway to get a good finish. I know, since if you think gloss black shows imperfections, try painting these chrome passenger cars. EVERY defect shows, and then reflects on itself, becoming twice as big. This paint actually requires a gloss black undercoat to shine correctly.

Look at the chrome of this car! You actually COULD shave yourself with that finish.
