If only heatproof paint was easy to get in all colors.

Beautiful restoration. Did you try insulating the inside of the
fire box to keep the paint from burning?

Hi KNO3, sorry it's taken me so long to get back to your
question.
No I didn't insulate the fire box, that's high temp paint. The
chimneys red brick color suffered from the heat. The lower 1/3
lost
the red color.

Hello Tommy,
You have done a fantastic job.
What shade did you take for the foundation? Is it midnight blue?

I'm sorry it took so long to reply. No, I painted the base, or
foundation, black.
When I first received the engine, the finish on the base was so
bad that it looked
like it was originally black but the paint was breaking down and
losing pigment.
Several years after it was done, I realized my mistake and just
left it.

Hello Tommy,
Thanks for the info. I am about to repaint my 368/2 and will use
midnight blue as the base color.

Hello Jurgen, midnight blue should be right. Here's another Doll
from that time frame.
I picked this up after the other one had been painted black
