@pennsyfan posted:Chris, thanks for posting your video. I’m going to try your technique on 8 unpainted hoppers which I recently got on the bay. they’re not delivered yet. They were molded red. My intention is to make them sand hoppers for the PRSL, so I’m going to paint them gray and then I thought I’d use your techniques to weather them, so after I paint them gray, I’ll letter them and then should I clearcoat the lettering before I do your process for the weathering?
Bob:
I check with Chris this morning before he went to work. He thinks that a clear dull coat before your applied lettering before weathering can't hurt but is probably not absolutely necessary. We will look forward to seeing your results next Wednesday.
As a side note, though I have a pair of RMT, PRSL coal hoppers, the PRSL owned no freight rolling stock labeled with the PRSL name and logo.
