Paint? - woodone - 01-31-2009 Hi out there in builders land. I am looking for Accu Paint. It is listed in the 2007 Walthers Reference Book ( catalog). When I search for the product is showes to be on BO, with no know date for delivery. I did a Google search and came up empty. Anyone using this paint? Is it still made? Any help would be appreciated. BTW this is for a kit bash project. N scale. I am making a Western Pacific GP20 from a Life-like (Proto-N) GP20 unit. The life-like GP20 comes with a low hood. The Western Pacific had high hoods. I got a good deal on the GP20 so I started looking for a SD7 or SD9 shell so I could cut the high hood from the SD7 and splice it on the GP20 unit, I found a GP7 (Atlas) on E Bay and had it shipped. I now have the unit ready for paint, there for the search for this paint. Looking for # 15 warm orange or #85 WP new orange and #40 Aluminum. Thanks in advance. woodone Re: Paint? - Russ Bellinis - 02-01-2009 Accu Paint is still made, but it is bottled by one man. It is like so many model railroad products being a product of a cottage industry. It is available when the company bottles a fresh batch. When it sells out, it is not available until they bottle some more. Re: Paint? - doctorwayne - 02-01-2009 I don't know if this is still in use,but you could give it a try: George A.
