Can anyone recommend a good brand of touch-up paint? I have a K-Line PRR Tuscan aluminum baggage car (K4680-39374) that needs a little help. Thanks!

I was going to be helpful and suggest that you use the Forum's Search function.
Why? There are at least 500 posts on touch up paint here. However, obviously that's far too many.
Here's how it's done:
Enter "Touch Up" in the advanced search box entitled Exact Phrase. If you stick with simply this what will return is at least 10 pages of hits, each containing 50 of them. 500 is too many.
So here's a suggestion to make things easier:
Instead enter "Touch Up" in the advanced search box entitled Exact Phrase and also enter "Tuscan" in the box entitled Contains At Least One Of These Words before you click on the Search button. Now you'll get only 25 hits, all are about reddish-brown touch up paint, and one of them may help you directly.

Thanks, Mike!! What a guy!!!
One place to find a variety of acrylic paints for touch-up is Hobby Lobby and similar places. Now, it depends on what you mean by "touch-up", where the area is and how precise it has to be. I have found acceptable touch-up colors there. Acrylics can often dry without brush marks. If the area is partially hidden or shaded (in effect, a different color to your eyes as compared to the "actual" color), an absolute match is not required.
Anyway, this does not always solve a problem, but it certainly has for me at times, and these craft paints are not terribly expensive.
