There is a modelers type paint Testors silver 1246 (if memory serves) that was one I used that was a very good match. We went through this on this list about a year ago so a check if the archives may be helpful for other ideas.

It looked like a pretty good match. I'd be afraid to try a touch-up with it, tho' as I don't know if it would hurt the original surface. If you do think maybe you've found a match, try it somewhere that won't show first before you make worse that which you are trying to make look better. Some paints attack bare plastic or other paints. IMHO, unless the piece is very bad, I'd leave it alone. Good luck and be careful, Tim Brown ----- Original Message ----- From: AF336 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 3:43 PM Subject: [S-Trains] Satin Silver color match I was wondering if anyone had ever touched up some of the original Flyer satin silver cars, and was hoping to get zeroed in on a paint brand/type that was a good match. I was also wondering how close the LTI/Flyer satin silver is to a match. MK S-Trains list sponsor: http://www.americanflyertrains.com All the Flyer you desire...books and accessories too!
