I caught two Behrs.

Hi Arthur,

Last year, I too picked up a gallon of latex paint at my local Home Depot also for $9.  It was an 'oops' can and was the color of beach sand.  I used it to paint the foam sitting on top of my plywood and for my carved foam mountains.  It is labeled for use on masonry, stucco, and concrete.  I found it to be slightly thicker than interior latex wall paint but I had no issue using it for my layout. 

Here's a test piece I carved and painted.  It was a great bargain!

Arthur the paint guy at a big box store told me that he could probably take a light colored can of oops paint and make it a darker color I wanted.  He said he could scan the oops paint and his machine would te him how to get to the desired darker color.

At 9.00 a can you did good.

"oops" cans can be a real find!

When it came time to paint the train room I found ten 1 gallon cans of "oops".   After separating the light colors from the darker colors then pouring them into two previously used 5 gallon Behrs paint cans the HD custom paint guy fiddled with the colors.  He was able to get a light blue out of one batch and an off gray in the other bucket.

Had enough to do two train rooms.

I'm a big fan of oops paint.  I always look for these little containers.  Seems they range from .50 cents to a $1

I used all of these colors to paint this station.
