Over the summer I picked up MTH's rendition of the N&W Mail Storage car that the 611's crew uses as a tool car in real life. The MTH car is just a generic baggage car painted to resemble that car, but Lionel's cataloged car isn't a whole lot more prototypical, so I'm thinking I'll just work with what I have. The problem is that it's a high gloss finish, whereas the Lionel aluminum Pocahontas cars I run are a much duller finish. Has anybody used a matte clear on MTH paint with good results? I've been wanting to dull it down since I've purchased it, but hesitate out of fear of something in the paint reacting and ruining the car.
