Repainting a Cheap Lionel Boxcar from TRAINZ.com for Inkjet Decals O Scale Gauge MTH Williams

I found this boxcar online at TRAINZ.com for less than $6.00. I think it may actually be new but it was never going to be collectible with its original paint scheme. So I think it's OK for me to repaint it in preparation for custom decals that I'll make with my inkjet printer.

Bob, as always your videos are fantastic. Your painting skills with a rattle can are a sight that can not be rivaled. Truly your work is indistinguishable from the factory original.

I have 5 of the Lionel Sunoco 3 dome tank cars I took apart and sanded and repainted all the frames and scrubbed the plastic as well as could be done without removing the decals. Cheers from eastern TN

Sounds good. Cheers from southern Ohio. 👍🏻

Bob, I recall an article in Model Railroader magazine where the author used Soft Scrub cleaner with an old toothbrush to remove lettering.

[@bobsworkshop5181]

Seems like it would work. 👍🏻
