Would anyone happen to know what colors would be good for IC brown and orange in regular house paint? I was thinking about painting part of the train room with these colors so it’s not for models.
Hi,
Finding the correct IC colors for models is a major task, complicated by the fact that the orange and chocolate brown used by the various companies is not all that consistent.
My suggestion is to take a model car whose colors look “right” to you to the local Lowes or Home Depot and they can do a match for you and mix whatever paint you want.
Or, you may want to contact the Illinois Central Historical Society (check Yahoo for the web site) and they may have a better idea!
ENJOY,
