REEFER CDCX 101
This car started from an Accurail undecorated kit. The underframe and trucks are painted black using Stynylrez primer black. The silver paint is Stynylrez SNR-212 METAL. I think the silver turned out to be the best looking silver color for reefers painted like this.
Trucks are 40 ton from Tahoe Model Works. Couplers are Kadee whisker scale head with the uncoupling pin removed.
Decals are my own design printed by Precision Design Co.
After the car was painted silver, It received an Alclad Aqua Gloss clear gloss coat. The truck frames got the same clear coat treatment as the car. This gloss coat dries VERY fast, but cures fully after about 6 hours. I waited the 6+ hours and then applied the decals. An hour after applying the decals, I shot the car again with Aqua Gloss and then with my Tamiya satin finish mixture including the truck frames. Wheels and couplers were weathered with pigments.
