Paint Color availability

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Is VIA “teal blue” (the blue/green currently used on their F40 rebuilds and other locomotives etc.) available?

If so, who is the manufacturer and the number.

If not, does anyone have a formula to make the color.

Thanks for any help.

You might put this post in the prototype section?

Testors has the perfect match in their model car line of paints under the Colors by Boyd section - it’s called “Chezoom Teal” … really !

The real engines are painted using Dupont metallic teal (which is the reason there appears to be such a wide swing in colors shown in pictures) and this paint has the same extremely fine metallic to it.

Check out the VIA P42 on my home page.

I have emailed Tru - Color as to which VIA Blue they have. Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you. As I suspected, there are underlays involved. Thanks for the pointer and I’ll check out your page.
