Hiawatha maroon paint match
Author: Chestnut

Hello,
I’m custom painting a Hiawatha 4-6-4 HO scale. My customer wants the dark maroon to match the walthers Milwaukee Hiawatha passenger cars. I rather stick with an oil base paint if all possible. I already have a match for the orange. Thank you for the suggestions!

Some MILW modelers use Lehigh Valley red to match MILW maroon. Matching what Walthers used might be another challenge.

TruColor makes a color called Milwaukee Rd Maroon, TCP-110 should be pretty close to what you're looking for.
