I'm thinking about a repaint project requiring bright finish 15" Lionel or other vendors' passenger cars. The older Lionel Burlington and Amtrak passenger cars have the finish I want, but: 1) the Burlington has the road name imprinted on the finish; and, 2) the Amtrak cars have the striping along the windows and, number boards are attached.
Has anyone repainted either of these models, or any other bright finish 15" passenger cars and successfully removed imprinted names/numbers and/or press on decals and number boards? Can you suggest an alternative to these two models? (I have been away from the hobby for 10+ years and haven't kept up with the high volumes of new product introduced during my absence.)
