Got a couple of cars to repaint, sorry, I needed a 2814 Reefer for my new Goetz decals, much like the one George created. Now I just have to find the paint. Haven't located the Krylon Georgia red clay color locally yet!
I got the Krylon Covermaxx Gloss Georgia Clay from Amazon. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Krylon-...eorgia/dp/B013LT5BYQ
only one left in stock!

So is that 'Georgia Clay' color a good match for 'Boxcar Red' (what Floquil used to call that brownish color that many boxcars were painted in the 40's and early 50's)? Anybody got a good rattle can match for PRR Tuscan Red (or Brunswick Green for that matter?)

I was trying to match the color of the MTH Goetz reefer picture. MTH used a Tuscon color roof on an 814r white car they made, but it was satin finish. I wanted gloss to match the prewar era finishes. I would say it looks close to Tuscan, maybe just a shade lighter.
