Warren Haywood Painting and lining


Recommended Posts

  • 1 year later...

I visited Warren the other day and he showed me some examples going through his paint shop. Believe me, stunning as all the above photos are, they do not do full justice to his work compared to seeing them in the flesh. The superb flow out and smoothness of his paint finish is incredible and the consistency and fidelity of his lining with spring bow and ruling pen is breathtaking. Can't wait to see his work on my Duchess.

Cheers,

Peter

Lovely work. I wish I could afford to pay somebody to paint my locos to that standard but even at Warren's very reasonable prices, it is out of my budget.

 

The GCR types just make me drool!

 

A friend of mine is in a position to be able to use the services of Mr Haywood and is getting a bit giddy at the prospect of seeing his Royal Scot when it comes back.

That SECR D is amazing! The quality of your work is truly breathtaking. One could be convinced they were the real thing with the addition of a background.

 

Glad I came across this thread. Looking forward to future updates!

Fantastic work as usual.

 

Could I ask what you used for the body colour for the NBR Intermediate?

 

I really like the GC locos as well. My great uncle was the regular driver of Butler Henderson when it was allocated to  Mexborough shed during WW2.

It’s basically a 50/50 mix of deep bronze green and GWR chocolate brown. These two colours mixed together were identical to swatch li borrowed from Paul Moore which came via the NBR society.

Absolutely beautiful Single Warren! What paints do you use for the main colour and the lining?

Cheers

Simon

Hi Simon

It’s cellulose matched to Precission Midland Chrimson Lake

The lining is humbrol 69 with som red and a touch of green added to give darker yellow which I think sits well.

Hi Warren,

 

Are you able to confirm what the paint mix colour code was please - your supplier will have needed to have determined this to mix it?

 

As I suspect you are aware,there are various possible systems that they might have used; they might have either "RAL" in front of a number, "BS" in front of a number, simply a number or (and this is most likely) a mix of numbers and letters.  

 

I have reached the conclusion that Precision's crimson lake has darkened and have thus decided to procure my own and I also prefer cellulose paint so can get it in this format as a result.  My problem is getting a match although red in reality is not a particularly colourfast colour, so it will have changed over time on the prototype.

Mark, unfortunately there is nothing in the RAL or British standard range that comes close to what is perceived as Midland/LMS red.

You will need to take a swatch of your own colour to specialist car paint shop (not Halfords;-). They will have swatches of maroons and reds where you should be able to find one that’s close. A good paint mixer will be able to do this by sight although he may have a little gadget that can break down the colours used.

I can’t give you a code as Ian Rathbone got mine for me as we have a customer who collects LMS vehicles and uses both of us to paint them and therefore we had to maintain continuity.

I’ve recently bought some Precission gloss enamel for lining and touching in and don’t see that it’s gone dark although I can’t comment on the dull version if that’s what you use.

Cheers Warren

A couple of years ago I built a G5 for a client and it went off to Warren for painting and I didn't see it finished because it went off to the client straight after. Warren borrowed it for his stand at Leigh show last weekend so I in turn borrowed it for a photo session.

 

Warren has done his usual top job of it and I hope the photos do it justice.

Stunning work, as usual!! (Both the build and the painting)
