Passenger Car Roof Color
Posted by steve1946 on Tuesday, December 29, 2015 8:52 AM

Does anyone know the Krylon rattle can gray color, (closest match), of the Lionel 2422/2422 passenger cars?  EDIT:  I know this sounds lame.  I used to paint with an air brush and compressor but that is when I had a ventilated room for this activity.  Now, however I am restricted to rattle cans in the garage but only when I can have the door open!  I purchased a trio of 2421/2422 gray top passenger cars that need the roofs repainted and I'm looking for a close match.  Appreciate any suggestions in advance.  Steve

 

Thanks, Steve

This may help start you on a match with Krylon:
