ess1uk Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 After some red paint for the ends of a VGA van. What shade red should I use and from which manufacturer? Many thanks in advance for the advice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted November 14, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 14, 2013 Errrr............ Rail freight red...... I guess manufacturer is of your choice, but I presume you're limited to Precision or Railmatch. You may prefer acrylic over enamel, which could also limit your choice. I think Railmatch do (or used to) a "faded" Railfreight red. TBH, I use normal RF red and add a bit of pale grey and/or white. Remember that red ( and other red pigments such as maroon/crimson etc) is one of those colours that can play tricks with the eyes as to it's exact shade Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks Mick. I wasn't sure if it was called rail freight red or another name. I was thinking Railmatch so will now go out and get some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ess1uk Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Decided on Railmatch 204 rail red and 450 faded rail red in enamel. Think that should hit the spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 37 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Remember you can normally apply enamels on acrylics but never the other way around. Cheers, Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
