Matching Atlas Paint: HO CP Trainmaster

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

So I just got myself the HO Atlas Trainmaster, in CP grey and maroon.

I will be adding CP specific details (bell, horn, break stand/wheel, ladder grabs behind the cab) and I will need to touch up the paint.

Suggestions for paints that will match and will brush on well?

Thanks,

PF

Try Badger Model Flex CP Tuscan Red. The maroon on the Atlas Trainmaster looks dark, and the Badger paint should be dark enough to resemble the factory paint. It brushes on easily.

Thanks aloco, I will give it a try. And yes, when compared my other factory and custom painted units, it looks a little dark but it is OK for me.
