The original Floquil was lacquer based. Floquil's original Dio-sol thinner would fry your brain. Many years ago after Testor's bought Floquil it was reformulated as an enamel paint. It uses the same thinner as Testor's Model Master paint line and I really can't tell any difference between Floquil and Model Master other than the colors. In my opinion, Scalecoat II is far superior for painting locos and cars. It goes on smoother and drys glossy making it perfect for decals. I will miss Floquil for their building and structure related colors like concrete, rail tie brown, grimy black, etc. I wish Testors would bring those colors back in their Model Master line. Model Master seems to be just for autos and military models.
