Reply to "authentic paint schemes & finding or making the shades needed from what company's now ?"

Mr. Adventure,

I can definitely sympathize with you on the paint colors.

Floquil is gone, I think purchased by Testors but the detail saving paint is not around anymore. I have found some of the acrylic paint works in the proper airbrush, but the color match, that is another story. I acquired a pair of UP diesels that were in need of major repairs. My local hobby shop had in stock several colors of the UP yellow or gold if you prefer but none matched, he was good enough to special order from another manufacturer, but it was not a match.

I ended up going to Home Depot and they made a decent match. The problem there was latex paint which is to thick and obliderates details, fortunately on the diesels it wasn't a highly detailed area.

I have been told that Sherwin Williams will color match paint, you may be able to find the match you want, but may have to purchase more than needed
