Has anyone found a good touch up paint for 900 series silver passenger cars? I recently purchased a set of chestnut stripe cars that need the silver touched up in a few areas. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Portlines Hobbies has something close. Gilbert satin silver is difficult to match exactly. By the way, I assume that you have Gilbert 900 series chestnut stripe passenger cars (960, 962, and 963, and if you are fortunate, the scarce 961 coach).
Hope this helps.

You are correct, I meant 900 series not 600 series. I will take a look at portlines and see what they have.
I've used the Port Lines' AF silver, and it's a very good match. Not perfect, but extremely close.
Nice looking consist! Always glad to see trains bought back to life.
