UPRR yellow color

[Anonymous]

I am trying to repaint a diesel locomotive in UP yellow to match my Rivarossi passenger cars. I have had no luck with Floqui's UP yellow. It comes out too "mustardy". The color of Athearn's F7's is a good match.
Any suggestons, friends?
Thank you

It's called Armour Yellow. Don't know the number of the various suppliers, but at least the name's a start.

Thanks. That was the color I used (UP Armour yellow), but the results were pretty bad. I wondered if somebody has come up with a mixture that works.

claudio1435,

If it's too yellow, you could always experiment by adding some reefer white to it to soften it up. I mix my custom paints using a eye dropper, which can be purchased from ahy drug store for less than a dollar. Make sure you document your ratios so that they are repeatable for you.
