  1. Hi Jol. I am building a rake of LNWR carriages and I can’t get purple lake paint here in Canada. Would you know the correct mixture for purple lake or the plum. Also I’m at a loss for the correct lining   I’m building the ratio models the 50ft arc roof type. Any help would be appreciated.  Keith

      Hi all,

       

      There was an almost precise match in the range of car paints for LNWR Purple Lake.

       

      Daewoo had this in their range but I think it went into the Chevrolet range of colours and may be discontinued.

       

      I've been looking for the remains of my tin but must have thrown it away.

       

      Cant find it on the Daewoo listing but will keep looking.

       

      Thanks

      Edit to add - Colour was Daewoo Dark Red which gave a purple/brown finish over Red primer.

       

      Check for equivalent here:-

      I don't think I can help at the moment.

       

      My collection of LNWR reference books is still packed after a house move and the construction of the new workshop building is on hold owing to the pandemic, so I won't be able to sort them out for some time.

       

      An enquiry to the LNWR Society might produce an answer;

      I originally used Phoenix Precision Paints LNWR Coach Plum and later had some cellulose paint matched to that for spraying with an airbrush. I have never used any car paint aerosols other than primers or satin/matt black so don't know what might match.
