Bob,

I like the Polyscale Acrylics so I paint my Q stuff "Special Oxide Red". I like the hue to have a warm red cast to it like I see in Mike Spoors CB&Q color book. The Q called thier color Mineral Red but that Polyscale color looks browner and more appropriate for ATSF cars. I use Future floor finish for my clear coat and flat finish with Polyscale's Clear Flat. Rob Manley

Sent: Monday, April 27, 2009 9:48 PM Subject: [STMFC] CB&Q Boxcar Color I'm ready to paint a Sunshine Models CB&Q XA-11A automobile boxcar, and could use some advice on correct paint color, circa 1950 era. The kit instructions suggest a Floquil mix of 9 Tuscan Red, 1 Boxcar Red, and 1 Reefer White -- my test shot seems a bit dark vs. my possibly poor recall of CB&Q boxcar color. Is this suggested mix well-accepted by the CB&Q modeling community? Any other Floquil color suggestions? Thanks, Bob Chapman **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
