Glad to help. I’ve had it on the roof of my RPO for…15 years? and none of it has peeled up yet. I find that the stuff with the paper backing doesn’t stick to wood at all.
Bob, How well does it hold paint?
After I applied aluminum tape to my roofs, I gave them a light sanding with steel wool or scotchbrite. First coat of ultra flat black primer and then a coat of flat black primer. Paint has held up just fine.
What he said. Some 400 grit sandpaper and Rustoleum paint seems to hold up well enough.

The weather is perfect for outdoor painting 50 or higher …
spray or brush ? The minions want to know…
Looking fantastic. I love using the foil tape. Kevin Strong turned me on to that and it’s a great look. Those are really coming out well.
Brush paint. It’s a dark grey mix of Rustoleum I made when I did the RPO and some other cars.
I dont remember where I saw the foil tape idea. I did use it on the 1:20.3 budget boxcars, and those are from, what, the late 1990s?

Talking to Del about getting the lettering done for these (Including lettering for the existing RPO, and the to-build business cars). Using the P-B-L cars as inspiration, as they’re well-researched models.
