The roof is the same color as the regular Ives 121. It does look gray, with a blue tint. This Ink Blue is very gray. If it doesn’t match, I’ll keep trying.

I’ll keep your observation of the yellow in mind as I try to match to body. Lighting in these different photographs tends to change the color.

I received my beat up caboose. Here are the before pictures.

Good news is that it has all the trim except the plates. I agree with NWL that the roof is going to be the problem color to match. It’s much closer to charcoal gray than any blue. I am going to experiment in blending spray colors on some scrap.

I have two shades of cream for the body that I will test and share.

This shouldn’t take too long. It’s mostly a strip and repaint.
