Am posting here, but this might apply anywhere.

We all lament the shrinking paint options currently available to us, so we are forced to look elsewhere.

My dearly departed mom was into tole painting, and gathered a little collection. Among those colors was this:

I needed to do a little repair on the Arvid Anderson PRR hopper I posted about elsewhere and a bit of paint touch up was in order.

I have used this before with pretty good success as a match for (I'm guessing) Floquil PRR red. Here you might be able to see the short "glob" of Walthers Goo I applied, then painted:

It's pretty darn close, I think.

I have not idea where she got it or if it's still available. Maybe Michael's(?)

Anyway, I thought I would pass this on...

Edit: right after I posted this, I did a quick online search; shows it's available at Home Depot and Walmart... 👍
