george stein Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Writing from the USA. I wish to repaint and re-decal (using Gassner decals) a series of HO coaches to the proper Era-II DRG "Braungrun" colour. I cannot seem to find an equivalent Hobby-style paint (either enamel or acrylic). Only options seem "industrial" (e.g., automotive). Has anyone discovered a 6008 option withing our HO universe. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DIW Posted January 28, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hello,I had a similar problem to find Swiss Federal Railways green. I discovered these guys who mix to requirements, and ordered a 400ml spray can which has served for 3 locos. For your RAL 6008 you would need this page, select RAL in menu 2 and type 6008 in box 4 - up comes your colour, with the name in German! I appreciate that you are in the USA, so ordering from a supplier in the UK may well have transportation issues. However, perhaps if you persevere in (google-)searching USA automotive paint suppliers there is surely in the whole US at least one who will understand RAL numbers (I'm thinking of specialists in mixing European colours, particularly for Mercedes, BMW, Audi, VW etc). I wish you well in the search; if when you find a supplier let us know who it is. Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
