Paint color

[NW Modeling List]

Evan,
 
The code for the N&W blue is: 
 
       
OEM: 708A MFG: GM/1959/TRK DELSTAR: DAR12232 BLUE  ACRYLIC ENAMEL
 
Unfortunately, with new paint formulas you may no have  any luck finding 
someone that can match this code.
 
Thanks,
 
Richard D. Shell

When I got a bad shell on my N  Scale NS 8103 I sent it back to Fox Valley 
to get a new shell.  While I  was talking with Matt from FVM he said the 
best match for the 8103 would be  Scalecoat B&O Blue.  I've seen photos of some 
models painted with  this color and it looks good to me.  Fortunately 
Scalecoat hasn't gone  the way of Floquil because Minuteman Scale Models has 
acquired Scalecoat from  Weaver.


I've read of some modelers  using the color codes to have paint exactly 
matched to the prototype's specs.  Does anyone know the color code for Post 
Merger Blue?


Sorry for a late  response.

While I know  this might be a touchy subject can anyone recommend a close 
match for the blue  paint scheme?  Wanting to paint a C425 and SD40.
