> In its former GN enginehouse at Mineapolis > Junction. Nice picture. I remember that very scene. It already seems long ago, even though it isn't even a year yet. BTW; That engine was painted in 1992 with the Sunfire paint I discussed a mile down the thread list. The boiler jacketing was repainted with the same stuff again in 2000 because a lot of the jacketing itself was replaced. The rest of the engine is still, for the most part, still wearing it's '92 paint. That stuff holds up. I have no ax to grind on that subject. I'm just trying to get a tidbit of useful information out to those who don't like to repaint every few years. Mark D. |

Can't deny that the paint looks first rate. However being stored indoors out of the hot So Cal sun sure helps. Wishing that painting every two years would become a thing of the past. |

For a good long lasting paint, try a good type of Bridge paint. We currently are using Wasser Bridge paints on projects and it's estmated to last about 10 years. Dan NP2626@RRmail.com |

Ya know Bob, that is most discouraging! I can get two years out of a standard DIY industrial enamel at a pretty low cost and a don't-come-too-close finish ...of course dning enough of a job to get it to stick. You would expect that at $100-150/gallon you could do a heck of a lot better. lamontdc@adelphia.net |
