I bought 6 brass turnouts on ebay and want to paint them to match the Atlas nickle track i ussually use. What kind of paint should i use? Thanks
 
None. Painting switches always leads to bad things like poor conductivity and the points never moving right again. If you weather the sides of the tracks away from the points and do a good job ballasting, they will blend in just fine. I have mix of nickel silver and brass on my layout and you can only tell the brass ones when the light is right.
 
Ditto I have some brass mixed in . If you paint the rails away from the turnouts you should be fine.
