i talked to walthers and they do not have a paint match for the pullman green on their cars. . floquil’s pullman green doesnt come close.
anybody have a color match or formula that would work?
thx
Sounds to me as though you are going to have to do a little “paint mixing” to get what you want. It’s pretty simple, just take your green and add black if you want it darker and white if you want it lighter. Don’t worry about getting an “exact” match as the real railroads never had an “exact” match either, then when you figure in sunfading probably none of them really matched exactly.
Sometimes the best you can get is “close”…

Why dioesn’t Walthers put out a small paint kit that IS a matcjh for the cars they make.
ROCO (maker of German, Austrian, Swiss, etcv) European trains offers a set of about 8-10 tins of Humbrol paints that are color matches for the railways and what they use on passenger cars and locomotiives.
One more examp[le of how far behind everyone else we are in this hobby. Walthers seems to keep everything a big secret instead of HELPING modelers.
