tru-color or accupaint(?) CSX colors? Please help.....

[drgwguy]

Hey Everyone!

I'm getting ready to do two CSX AC4400s for a friend and they are gonna be a complete respray. I'm not sure of the correct colors for them. They are in the older paint scheme; I think it's Yn2? You know, the yellow nose and hood ends and blue hockeystick-ish band?

thanks for any help.

I haven't tried them yet, but TruColor released the CSX colors just this past January ....

TCP-265 - CSX Y2K Blue, TCP-266 - CSX Y2K Gray, TCP-267 - CSX Y2K Yellow

Thanks Mark, I'll give them a look!

Has anybody tried screen printer's ink? I had heard somewhere that accupaint is just screen printers ink, and the fact they did decals kinda makes sense.

I'm sure you could score quarts cheaper than what we pay for those little ounce bottles...
