Paint is out - Wrap is in

["David Bennetts" <davibenn@pcug.org.au>]

With the corporate sector all out to paint locos and carriages in
distinctive colour schemes, Florida is now wrapping their trains (locos and
carriages) in Vinyl rather than painting them.  Reasons - much quicker to
do, doesn't require environmental controls that painting does, and it comes
for less than half the cost.  Durability also is there, a seven year
lifespan is envisaged.

Wonder if the process will catch on in Oz?
