 
Reference Material
The following is a combination of four lists which were on the Internet a few years ago. This is posted as is and without any guarantee by RailFonts.com. RailFonts.com does not maintain this list and can not answer any questions about it.
Beginning with this upload version, I have endeavored to increase the number
of entries with reference to specific OEM (original equipment manufacturers)
colors supplied to the railroad, when known, giving you the type of paint as
well as the OEM color number ie.: Acrylic Enamel 123-4567 or DuPont Acrylic
Lacquer 123-4567. As appropriate cross-referenced model color matches are
determined, they will be supplied.
The file(s) also include color references to specific classes and numerical
series of cars (see the Ferrocariles Nacionales de Mexico entry) where
appropriate.
Some of the latest additions to this file include references to the Pactra
line of colors. These colors are identified by the prefix "PA" in the
following listing. This line is, unlike the Floquil or Scalecoat lines, an
enamel and as such requires a rather longer drying or "curing" time (relative
to the Floquil or Scalecoat line). When using the Pactra enamels, or any
enamel for that matter, bear in mind that they generally will not cause
"plastic crazing" and don't generally need an initial coating such as
Floquil's Barrier.
Remember too that, since Pactra is an enamel, you may or may not be able to
overspray it with successive coats of Floquil or Scalecoat without the
Pactra layer either crazing or lifting entirely. In general, it's best to
apply the Pactra colors AFTER painting with Floquil or Scalecoat.
This file includes references to the Accu-Paint line of product colors.
These colors are identified by the prefix "AP" in the following listing.
Accu-Paint colors are an acrylic lacquer based material. Because they con-
tain 2% by weight Diacetone Alcohol (4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone) (CAS
#123422) which has a 50 TLV occupational exposure limit you should exercise
an appropriate amount of caution in handling this material. If sprayed, you
should at least use a NIOSH or OSHA approved RESPIRATOR and additionally, it
is recommended that you use a spray painting booth.
While you CAN in most cases use an Accu-Paint color coat over a Floquil
color coat and vice-versa, you should do your own experimentation to see what
works best with your methods and equipment.
In certain entries, you'll notice a reference to "Pantone" colors. This is
a reference to the Pantone (R) Color Reference Chart which is a collection
of "standardized" commercial printers inks available in sample book form. In
these entries, if I haven't yet come up with a specific Floquil color match
(yet), I've included the Pantone color for temporary reference. This color
chart shows samples of 600+ colors used as a standard in the book/magazine
printing industry and can be obtained at your local graphic arts supply
store. As accurate matches are developed, they will be inserted to replace
the Pantone notation.
A number of questions have surfaced as to what "units" I commonly measure in.
Most often I use a standard glass eyedropper with a 1/16 opening. This makes
my unit of measure the "drop" or 1/216 of an ounce. Most of the formulae
listed below are listed as "part" or "parts". They could actually be any
unit you choose, just so long as you use the same unit each time, be it
milliliter (or cubic-centimeter) or even gallon (for those of you guys out
there modelling on a 1:1 scale who need REALLY large quantities of material).
I prefer to use the glass eyedroppers because they are more accurate, easier
to find and are easier to clean out after adding every color than the plastic
ones.
All colors bearing the prefix "PF" or "PG" are Floquil Polly-S colors. The
remaining colors bearing prefixes "R" are standard Floquil colors.
A few colors are listed with "Flo-Paque" references where applicable.
Floquil's "Polly S" colors may be used UNDER the solvent-based colors but
they should never be applied over the solvent based paints because of poor
adhesion qualities.
You may want to prime structures made with wood, cardboard or other porous
materials with the water-soluable colors first, then re-paint with the
solvent based colors to achieve a more moisture-resistant finish. Just take
care in thinning the Polly S and Flo-Paque colors with water...the less water
you use in thinning...the less of a chance you'll take in warping the wood,
cardboard or whatever.
