Has anyone compared the Scalecoat 'boxcar reds #2 and #3' to the original oxide red 2002 and boxcar red 2013?  For somebody who can't see reds well, this is my best shot at translating the color formulas from RPCyc volume 3 to current usage.  My intent, for small jobs, is to rely on the spray cans, so the ideal situation would be to know that these colors are somewhere between the boxcar red and oxide red.

Hi Ron--I think I understand what you want. Starting with Oxide Red and moving toward less red:

Oxide Red 2002
Box Car Red #2 2087
PRR Freight Car Red 2081
Box Car Red 2013
Box Car Red #3 2088

Hope this helps.

Yes, putting those colors in order helps.  Thanks.
