Model Railroading > MoPac Eagle paintDate: 01/07/19 12:08 MoPac Eagle paint Author: TexasRocket Hello all,
I realise that Tru-Color has all the paint I desire, but I can't stand their product and the shelf life is rubbish. I would prefer to do an enamel based paint job if I can, so if anybody has a mixing guide for all the colours for a MoPac Eagle passenger train, I'd be very appreciative.

It will also work with SMP Accu-Paint with the same results

Be sure to keep the paint, (and any paint), stored in an room temperature enviornment for best results. You can of course clean your air brush with acetone.

and I purchased a bottle of each for my T&P train 15 years ago. Good quality paint and spot on coloring. Not sure i still available, but worth a phone call.
