Cabose colors

[NW Mailing List]

David:
 
I would use any regularly-available model railroad "caboose red"  paint.  I 
have used that on my HO model N&W cabooses and my eye can't  tell any 
significant difference.  Don't forget that the roof should be  black, preferably 
a weathered black reflecting the steam locomotive cinders that  landed there.
 
For your bird feeder, if you can find Floquil Caboose Red in the aerosol  
spray can, that would be the easiest.  For models, the spray cans can coat  
too heavy, but for your application should do fine. I recommend a grey primer 
 coat first, as the coverage of this color isn't all that great.  Floquil  
also makes Engine Black, Weathered Black, and Grimy Black in spray cans.   
If you have access to a good hobby shop, they should have a Floquil color 
chip  card; the colors renderings on their web site are not very good (I'm 
being  charitable).
 
Have fun, sounds like a great project!

I have an old bird feeder that is a caboose that I was given and I want  to 
paint it in N & W colors.

To be applied to a 12" = 1' caboose or a model?

What standard paint colors would match the colors on N & W  cabooses?
