Floquil paint cross reference chart?
Posted by astapleford on Friday, January 24, 2020 4:04 PM

Just wondering, but, as a long time model railroader and user of Floquil paints, oil based and acrylics, I was wondering if there is a cross reference chart that you could look at and find an equivalent paint color made by another company now that Floquil has gone bye-bye. As an example, if you need a color similar to Floquil's "Roof Brown", the chart would tell you that Accupaint or any other mfr has the same or equivalent color with the name, or, a color chip number. Would be handy to have! Just putting it out there to see if an X-reference exists. Thanks.

There is, but it is at a competing online magazine's website.  They have added a premium subscription product, in addition to their free subscription, which makes me think that they will go the way of Photobucket. 

Testor has one too.   https://www.microscale.com/Floquil%20Color%20Chart.pdf

I have the charts mentioned by Henry in .PDF format. If you'd like to PM me, I'll gladly send it to you. It's quite extensive.
