Hello Mr. B-man,
Do you know if anybody makes the Red paint on the J's?
I need a little for touch-up.

Dear Jeff,
We mix our own paint at the factory, so I don't know of a domestic match.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Jeff, I mixed up what I feel is a fairly close match using Pensy Tuscan Red and Caboose Red, both from Floquil. Just painted up a set of cars for mine, and did my best to match the paint, without actuall putting any on the locomotive or tender. Can't give you an exact formula, I just mixed it until it looked good to me. Plus, since I was painting the cars instead of the engine, was not quite as concerned with it matching exactly. Hope this this helps you out. Sully
