Walthers Put out this car in a light Tuscan red, but they have no idea how to match the color for touch up andpainting the “customer applied” grabs. Does anyone out there have any experienc in matching the color and would you consider shareing the formula?
The best you can do is sit down and take some time mixing colors for your self, it will take a little trial and error, just be careful!! It’s not very difficult just takes time.
Grabirons should be black not tuscan from all that I have seen so it shouldn’t be a problem.
All the pictures I have seen shows the grabs as same as the body color. An article in RMC on modifying the Walthers car suggests a 75% Tuscan and 25% Box Car red to match the Walther’s Color.
First, they are reefers and not boxcars and they never went through the washrack so they were all very very dirty - some so dirty they look green and not red. Use any close color and weather to suit - they will look great!
