Hey Gents,

Does anyone know the best way, or some tips, to paint and finish metal tracks?

Merry Christmas! Happy Holydays!

Primer it,

But i found a solution that, when you dip in the Fruil tracks or Metal tracks it blackens it, Ill find a link for you

I think the product that Max is thinking about is called Blacken It. You dip the tracks in the solution and it chemically darkens the metal. There is an excellent article on the method somewhere out there on the net. I have it bookmarked, I think, and if I find it I'll post back.

Found it.

Good luck.

Hi, I just give mine a couple good coats of flat black primer and then a lighter coat of red primer. Afterwards I do a light brushing of sliver or aluminum on the high points and they look pretty good.

Good luck and take care, Sgirty
