Don,
Paint does not stick to brass at all well. Some model engineers =
recommend
roughing the surface up with emery before painting to allow the paint to =
key
to the brass, however in my experience this method doesn't work all that
well. By far the best in my experience is to prepare the brass by =
painting
it first with hamerite special paints primer [usual disclaimers] It's a
water based paint which sticks to brass like you wouldn't believe.

Hi every one,
A friend of mine has just about completed the Tender for a 7.25" =
Gauge=20
King Loco.
The question he has asked is does it require any special treatment=20
before painting e.g. etching etc. to prevent the paint peeling of =
later,
and what=20
type of paint is recommended. Are their any special precautions he =
should=20
take before painting it.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
