Good morning,
I could use a little help. I have never used Weaver's Scale Coat II Paint and I would like to know if thier UP Hopper Car Gray would match up with these Lionel Hoppers. The Weaver web page states: All colors dry to a high gloss finish, except Loco Black which dries to a matte finish.
Here is a picture of the cars. I installed Kadee couplers (a very addictive habit). I tried to not go through the frame member but there was just not enough meat to securely thread the screws. I cut the screws flush to top of the frame and I want to paint the screws to hide them better, but the cars do not have a gloss finish. I am wondering if the Scale Coat paint would finish would clash and draw attention to an area I am trying to hide? So how glossy is the "high gloss" finish? I suppose I could top coat with dulcote if need be.
thanks
