Charles Woods/CMT or other restoration paints

[palallin]

It's been several years since I bought some paints from Charlie Woods, but I find myself in need of some. The trouble is that I can't find a recent ad for his paints. Is he still making/selling them?

If not, does any one have recommendations for the best substitutes, short of custon mixed? The colors--Red and Cream, for a set of Standard Gauge 332/337/338 passenger cars--should be easy enough to find substitutes for, but I'd like to get a sense of what people are using these days IF Charlie isn't selling anymore.

Scott who does great paint jobs [OGR guy] recommends Flowquil. I have followed his lead. I used Flowquil and Scalecoat back in the 80's.

For tinplate I think his paints are the best. The colors are accurate and the finish matches the original but its a little too thick for painting plastic where some of the detail can get covered.
Olsen's Toy Train Parts also stocks a lot but not all of Charle's paints. Their library will list the proper color(s) for each item as well.
