Paint color - Blue

[NW Modeling List]

Gentleman,
Several years ago my club which uses B & O Enchanted Blue had a need to  
paint a very large number of locomotives and passenger cars. Finding enough  
Floquil was becoming an issue! I am in the automotive industry owning my own  
shop which builds custom cars! My body shop guy has a paint system that can 
mix  any color! So I had him mix me a Qt. of paint and we sprayed away! Now 
that  being said the smallest mixable quantity is a pint! So if you have a 
friend in a  body shop or you can buy paint from an automotive paint 
supplier you can buy  paint a lot cheaper in quantity! which is good to know since 
I just heard that  Testers is shutting down it's entire model paint 
operation! No more Floquil or  Polly S nothing!

"......REASONABLE color to use...." works just fine for me. At age 67,  
I'll be damned if I'm going to waste hours, days, weeks or longer in pursuit  
of "correct color".

James, you are asking a very Flammable question. "Correct color"? Much  
ink, blood, and paint have been spilled in pursuit of this topic. It's  perhaps 
wiser to ask "what is a REASONABLE color to use...."  


No, I do not have even an approximate answer. (I'm a VGN  guy...)
