    Amtrak GP40s

    I've been looking to possibly dip my toes into maybe doing some repaints and was wondering how to "bulk fill-in" the bodies of locomotives in Paint.net. I've been playing around with it the last day or so and can't quiet figure it out. I've adjusted the tolerance bar with the paint bucket function which does help but I'm not sure if it's the "texture" of the model, using the TrainSimulations Milwaukee GP40 as the base model but it seems like it's only filling in small blotches or the whole thing. I figured doing the Amtrak GP40s in Phase 3 paint would be a decent spot to learn from, simple-ish paintjob, 2 base colors with straight lines, and then the 3-horizontal red, white, and blue stripes, and then just the Amtrak text and number on the side of the long hood. Any help and tips would be greatly appreciated. Picture for reference for anybody curious credit goes to original author of photo.

    Phase 3 paint is all they came in. The rebuild at Cleburne did add an anticlimber to the front
