Looks great, Guy. I recently repainted a True-line reefer and found that Krylon Paver gray was a fairly decent match to my eye.

Here is the end of the story.

I was able to letter all of the six cars last week and I applied a coat of matte varnish during the weekend.  Here are the results.

Two cars built by CN-T in the 40'

   

   

Two cars built by NSC in 1958

   

Two cars built by NSC in 1954.  Those last two cars are the ones I repainted from True Line Trains products.  As explained earlier, one was stripped off its original paint, the second was not.  After finishing both I can't identify which one is which.

what shade of grey (or gray) did you use on the cars? I have an old (ca 1958) Athearn car that needs a touch up.
