Reply to "Match MTH paint color?"

RM,

If the color is the same as used by Weaver then it is Scalecoat Brunswick Green, now sold by Minute Man Models.  They have a website and you can order it from them.  They may now call it PRR Dark Green Locomotive Enamel. I have used it to paint several PRR Steam loco models.  It is almost black but there is a slight green tint in it.  I like the way it looks and when completely dry (no odor apparent).  ii dries with a gloss finish and it take decals beautifully.  I takes a few says to dry at room temperature but you can speed up the drying process by placing the loco in an oven set at 175 degrees F for about an hour.  Just be sure your oven thermometer is accurate or you can de-solder your loco!  I knew someone who had a gas fired oven with a bad thermometer that de-soldered a brass loco.  Not  a good day!

Joe
