I need a little help. What color do any of you use for the Chessie System red/orange stripe on the engines and cabooses?? I'm trying to match an old Athearn GP-35 shell that I'm wrecking and I can't find any Floquil paint that even comes close. Any help would be appreciated.

Testors used to make an orange paint in those small bottles. I always used that. I haven't painted a chessie in a while, so I'm not sure what to use now, as that orange is discontinued.

The old athearn chessie paint is way off anyway, I think you'll need to mix something to match it.
 


John,

Please forgive me, but as you can see, it was very early in the morning. I can't say I was firing on all 8 cylinders. No disrespect meant to any Chessie System fans.

That's the stuff. My local hobby shop can't get it any more. Maybe its just discontinued in the Great White North. :cool:

Most enamel paints cannot leave the US anymore. In fact, last I heard they're supposed to be banned by the EPA.
