i've been getting back into 'spraying', to fix or restore some equipt i've had. the simple blacks an browns are ok, but i used to be pretty good w/air brush a long time ago & would like to feel comfortable on some of these detailed engines an cars today. for example: Tuscan Red = some of the paint co i used 30yrs ago are gone. i've done alot of searching but find blogs that lead onto a purist conversation, that ok, as i'm reading, there must be 1/2doz tuscan reds. there were shades before WW2 @ different after. as a youth, when i used to spray some cars, 'penn. tuscan red' by floquill was 'the tuscan red' . soo, reading how Lionel, MTH, Atlas etc use these colors ? - where are their 'color match charts' to paints being sold on line ? i've been to a doz hobby stores and their not the same either. also, what type of taping is out there for line detail. i used masking tape but i'm hearing theres some great stuff out there now. thankyou for your patience, looking forward to finish acouple of projects. cheers, Doug
