A-Line Well Cars Red Paint Color Match
Author: RichM

I'm going through a bunch of old "work in progress" inventory, I've got the old A-Line well car five unit kits 75% completed when life got in the way. Now I've got time!

I had purchased them in hopes of recreating the Sea-Land / NYSW cars. Now I've lost my notes as to the color match. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Rich

I'm not 100% certain - please correct me if I'm weong  - but CP Rail "Action Red" looks like a good match to photos on-line.

Hopefully someone more knowledgable will chime in.

I sincerely hope my guestimate works out for you. Please test first on a piece of scrap styrene before committing to painting your model!
