Where to purchase paint for prewar AF tin plate trains & color chart
Posted by jcolonbc on Monday, April 5, 2010 6:08 PM

I'am trying to find paint and a color chart for American Flyer prewar O gauge trains.  I am new to restoring Prewar trains, I have the locomotive (Type VIII) ready for new paint but need help on the freight cars and caboose.  Thanks in advance for any help. Jim C.

When I am trying to match paint I go to the paint department and find the cloest chip then carry the chip and check different stores.  I've have pretty good luck matching the paint with off the shelf spray cans.
