Well now that Polly Scale is out of business can anyone tell me what the best product to paint your engines and rolling stock. I liked Polly Scale because after you airbrushed it you could touch it up with a brush and couldn't tell it was thick and easy to use. Sorry to see them go.

It depends on whether you are painting plastic diesel cab or a die cast steam locomotive. For the steam locomotives, I used Krylon Satin Black. For Diesels I've used the paint sold by a vendor at York, that custom mixes paint and sells it in spray cans and in bottles. Can't recall his name but he has been around a long time and is always in the Orange Hall at York. If I can find one of his cans in the basement I will pass on the name.
Thanks, I'm painting plastic parts not metal. For metal I usually use an oil based spray can and it works great.
I have tried them all. The best one out there is TRU-COLOR. Online or sold at york. It dries and can be sanded in 30 minutes! You can paint several colors in one day. It thins with acetone, sprayed at 32 psi. The enamel paints take too long to dry making a multi color job a very long process.
