Walther's coal floodloader / color ?????
Posted by dragonriversteel on Friday, November 4, 2005 5:33 AM
Hello all,


After a few months of searching and getting out bid on e-bay. Finally,I won a coal floodloader.
The problem is,once I opened the box to see if all the parts are there. I soon discovered that the color of the structure is different,than the kit in the box. What color of blue ,is the structure on the picture link below ?

Might want to try some D&H blue. If you have to buy the paint, get something darker than you want it to be. You can always add a little white to lighten it up.

I was disappointed too when I found the cream colored sheet metal. I painted mine in SP Lettering Gray. Then I weathered the lower half of the steel work with black.
What happened to all the color, why is everything in black and white?
