Re: Alton and RI boxcars
With that colour number, I am guessing that it is most likely a Sherwin Williams chip. I will try my local SW store to see if they can supply a chip.

Need help
I'm looking for photos and info on Alton Railroad boxcars in the 17000-17998 series for a kitbash. These were steel with radial roofs and that's about all I know. Charlie Duckworth posted a photo

Re: Alton and RI boxcars
I wonder if this is the same/similar paint used to "repair" metal roofs on houses? If you drive down I-81 in VA, can see many houses in the rural areas on the southern portion with painted roofs.

Re: Alton and RI boxcars
For me, the tells on the roof are the rib nearer the end of the car than other designs; it goes under the laterals, and the faint stiffeners in the center of the panels.

Re: Alton and RI boxcars
What is the date of this photo? 1943 sticks in my mind. The RI car was built either in late 1941 or early 1942. The roof paint hasn’t lasted too well.

Were Hutchins Dry Lading roofs common in the radial (vs. flat) designs?

Rob, I can't say about the Alton, but I did some research awhile back on this type of roof for another project. They were not galvanized, but painted with a 'galvanized' paint. I've attached a color
