Brad,
The CB&Q Gray and CB&Q Chinese Red from Badger Modelflex are right on. They do
a good job of matching the red & gray on the HO P2K SD 7&9s.
I don't know what the Atlas GP 30s are like but I thought the red SD-24's in HO
needed a little more of an orangey Red cast. They looked more like a Santa Fe
red. The Gray was darker than it should be but that can be hidden with the
right weathering anyway.
Paint your shells all gray and mask off the tops for the red. Youo can use the
top gray as a primer and it's easier to mask off the top than the bottom.
Have fun with your diesels West.

Subject: [CBQ] Red and Gray Paint
Hi All
I am about to paint a 1/2 dozen or so undec units in the red and gray scheme.
Instead of
me going out and buying all the different red and gray colors available to
see what is best.
I was wondering if there is some common thoughts from the group as to which
red and
grays that are availble out there are a good match. I already have a few of
the Atlas N
scale GP30's so a close match to them would be nice also.. Any opinions or
thoughts
would be greatly welcomed.
Thanks Brad
