Replacing AEM7 Pantographs & Paint Match

GF93GF93OGR Forum Member

I recently got a used MTH NJ Transit AEM7 from eBay. I don’t mind a little work. The pantographs were snapped off then glued back on. I removed most of the glue. I need to repaint some parts of the engine.

What are some good paint matching tools or if anyone knows the colors? Black, silver, pink, blue and orange. RBG codes?

I also need the pantograph connectors (the rubber parts that connect then pantograph to the top of the loco). 

Engine runs great otherwise. Pics are from before I removed the glue.

Thanks!4232E03E-9C7C-4F66-B7CA-AF16B7A50AA7DFDC2F7A-A249-4D89-8E7C-C98C92C32F2C428CEDEF-24B2-4EC4-B879-80131141C3AA

While I don't know the paint codes, I had my eyes on this one on eBay. That price shot up about $75 in 15 seconds!

Bummed I didn't get it but glad it's in good hands.. congrats, and I'm willing to buy/trade if you ever wanna part ways.

It's in good hands now. I removed the super glue and stuff, so now I just have to touch up the paint. Hopefully I can figure out the codes.

Any ideas on the small pantograph rubber parts that connect the pantograph to the loco shell?
