Reply to ""Lionel Dealer Layout Green" - Need mix formula for paint color"

The other color you will need is the roadbed and road color. I haven’t seen a specific color posted for that, but it seems to be a shade of almond white.  

i made the mistake of painting everything green first.  You should paint everything the almond white base color, then lay track, tape it off, paint green in open spaces, and add lionel 919 grass to the wet green paint. 

Your best bet for Lionel 919 grass is buy some on eBay. 

 

Exactly. This is how I did mine. See above. Painted the underlying color first, masked off the track and road bed areas, and then did the green. Sprinkle on the "grass" while still wet.

For my off white or cream color I used one of the Behr paints. I can find the color name/number and post it.

Edit:  The off-white or cream color I used for the track road bed was Behr's Lunaria.
