Just received a LIONEL PW Texas Special 2245 F3A shell and B unit yesterday. I bought these to use for a repaint project. However, the B unit is in such nice condition, and since I already have a complete, silver A unit frame, motor, e-unit, trucks, etc., I'm considering just a simple respray of the shell.
Is there an accurate red paint I can buy to use to repaint the A unit shell? It really needs to be a close OEM match since the A unit will be paired to the B unit. Alternatively, if someone has a formula for mixing the color I need, please let me know.
If I can get a good color match, I'll repaint the A unit and then add O scale details to it and the B unit.
