Reefer Yellow SP Daylight Red (close for vermillon) Date: 07/31/03 17:40 Re: Chessie System Colors Author: NSTopHat Accu-Paint makes the correct colors for Chessie as well.
#73 Chessie Yellow #74 Chessie Blue #8 Vermillion NSTopHat Date: 07/31/03 18:01 Re: Chessie System Colors Author: brunswick Not to be a wisearse but, Chessie Colors? I mean, most brands of paint come in Chessie Colors I think? One variable would be the primer color underneath and it\'s influence on the result.

TCS - so you\'re not microscale anymore? Date: 07/31/03 21:52 IMO Accupaint Vermillion not correct... Author: BCM The Accupaint "vermillion" is not the same as the "vermillion" color that Chessie used (unless painted over yellow at which point it might be close). Most Chessie painters I know use Illinois Central Orange (which is a reddish orange that is closer to the color found on new Chessie EMD units)...
The yellow color used by Chessie - Federal yellow - was pretty much "school bus" yellow... - BCM Date: 08/01/03 08:23 Re: Chessie System Colors Author: CarlLaFong brunswick wrote:

Yes, I know that some Chessie colors are commercially available. However, that does not mean they are 100% accurate, so I was looking for input from Chessie modelers to verify the accuracy of these paints. And, yes TCS, I finally dropped that name, since it can cause confusion. Date: 08/01/03 12:40 Re: Chessie System Colors Author: TopcoatSmith Ah, I see.
