Need advice on paint options for plastic scenery products | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Gene DickersonOGR Forum Member

I have several of the Lionel mainline classic street lights and the shades of green are not the same. I am looking to paint all a metal (silver) color, but was wondering on which type of paint, acrylic or enamel and which type of paint, spray or apply by brush, would be the best choices in your opinion.

Thanks,

Gene:

If plastic then I use either Krylon Fusion for PLastic Dull Nickel or Dull Aluminum. The nickel comes out a little darker than the aluminum.

I'm not sure about metal.
