0 Noel Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) Hi Joe The orange on mm mk2d coaches is not paint, it's orange coloured plastic. It's also the wrong shade by a wide margin. Folks like Glenderg can advise you how to mix or source acrylic paint combinations that will make up the correct shade for either CIE super train livery or the later Irish Rail tippex white lined coaches. Marks models sell a CIE Golden Brown (tan/orange) colour made by precision paints but it is enamel. An alternative to respraying the entire coach the correct shade is to weather the coaches over the day glo orange the come in. Noel Edited February 21, 2017 by Noel Quote
0 Glenderg Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Joe, Which livery are you looking to do? Supertrain or the later tippex livery with the twin white stripes? Quote

0 GSR 800 Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Glad we could help.....?!?!?!?! There must have been a paradox or something, or he briefly entered an alternate universe where someone had answered his question Quote
0 Glenderg Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 In lieu of that GSR, the answer is 1mm White lining. Phoenix Precision paint for the Tan and Supertrain, .. and if another person quotes the quite wrong Ral 2011 from Vinny Byrne, I'll beat him with a wet fish. Quote
