Model railroad paint matches
Author: fbe

Does anyone have a link to a chart matching current and discontinued paints for paint names and color numbers?

Thanks.

The Testors and Model Masters references in the Microscale chart are rapidly growing obsolete. https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/26889 provides an approximate guide for acylics; a solvent-based paint chart never materialized.  Some of the "equivalents" are kind of wishful.

There's also the Model Railroad Hobbyist magazine's Acrylic Painting Guide (link). It's in their subscriber only section, but subscribing is free (and recommended).

Hope this helps!
