I just bought some Santa Fe passenger cars that have black truck frames. I would like to paint the truck frames silver to coincide with he truck frames on the locomotive. Does anyone know of a paint that can be brushed on that might match?

Testors 1246 silver metallic in a spray can is a perfect match for ATSF silver. Make some cardboard masks for the wheels and spray it on. One mask to slip over axles on the top and one for the bottom.

Yes, someone knows!
But I digress. I always use ScaleCoat (ScaleCoat II for plastics). Their Aluminum color should be perfect.
I just used Testors silver enamel paint (the cheapest one in the little glass jar). I brushed it on the trucks of some beater 2500 series aluminium passenger cars I re-did as Santa Fe cars.
