Norfolk Southern T55 ED40DC - HO

[nsgevo]

Hey guys Ime Josh. Ime new to the Diesel Detailer and this is my first thread so hopefully all the pictures come out right. Anyways I thought I would share some of my work with you guys. Look forward to sharing and discussing future projects. Here's my Tower 55 ES40DC. It started out as a NP ES44DC. I then made all the conversions to bring it up to NS stardards (except for the 4 window cab) and painted it using scale coat 2 black and shellscale decals. Although the paint is pretty good on this the decals fogged up a bit. Ime currently working on my second Tower 55 ES40DC.

Great work and welcome to the Detailer Josh!

Josh did you already seal it with dull coat or anything.? If not take a pointed object like a stick pin or the tp of a Xacto knike and poke the cloudy ares of the decal and apply more Solvaset or Micro Sol and that should help them stick better. It stilll looks good though. Hope this helps a little.

Unfortunately I already applied the clear coat. If I have any trouble with that in the future Ill make sure to do that. Thanks Glenn!

Looks good! And welcome. I too am new, but I like what you've done. I can only second the 'popping' of decal blisters, and flooding with solvaset, or the like. Of course, I use the term flooding carefully.........!!!!
