Do anyone have a good match for the old Floquil Mineral Red? I checked the charts that I have and that is not a color that is listed on the charts. (I find Santa Fe MIneral Brown but that is not what I want.) If I have to mix it, I am perfectly willing to do that. (I have a BN Green that I mixed.) As usual any suggestions that anyone has would be most welcomed.
I'm pretty sure Mineral Red was a Polly Scale color. MM Acrylic Rust is close. You could always contact Tru-Color paints and ask them to mix some for You. Pactra acrylic enamel paints also had a close color. Tamiya acrylic Hull Red can also be doctered. How close depends on Your eye..............
Take Care!

It is an unusual color in that it has a brownish red appearance in the bottle, but takes on a livelier version of Boxcar Red on plastic. I used Mineral Red to paint my large downtown passenger station.
There are two sellers on eBay right now, and three 1 ounce bottles are available.

I searched Walthers for Mineral Red and found TruColor makes a GN Mineral Red.

I went ahead with that route and purchased a bottle. Given that it has been many years since the PS line disappeared, I didn't think to check eBay.
THank you all for the assistance.
LION can't figgr why you need such a purrfeckt match.
Paint fades right away, Locomotives , box cars, grandma's house, they all fade and ergo do not match anything.
Any cheep color that the LION buys at Walmart or Hobby Lobby will do just fine.
