Hi all -This one has me scratching my head. I'm painting Marc's Superchief cars for B&O Capitol Limited service and I've encountered a problem with shapes on a couple of the car roofs. The rectangular and triangular features over the door (see attached) change from one color to another with distance: close in (L)they're fine, but pull back (R) and they switch to a lighter color. I assume this is a LOD issue, but in any event, I can't find the .ace location where the shapes map to at the greater distance. Anybody have a clue? Thanks.

Bud
