I would like to add a winterization hatch to a Lionel Alska Railroad GP7 from a set from about 10 years ago. I can't seem to match the blue Lionel used. Any one have any experience matching lionel colors?

Although I've never need to use it, I suspect that Scalecoat's "Santa Fe Blue" (for plastics) would be a pretty close match.
I'll likely need something along those lines myself at some point in the future since I have more than 20 Alaska RR locomotives on my current roster.
Scalecoat paints in various forms (for metal, for plastic, and in bottles, spray, and marker pens) is available directly from Weaver Models (www.weavermodels.com) and other dealers. I believe the minimum order required from Weaver is $20.
Thanks Allan, I'll give it a try. I've got twelve locos, two RDCs and 50 oieces of rolling stock. I'm trying to add some details to my more basic locos and paint matching has been a problem.
