I'm looking to repaint a flat car/riding car in Southern Pacific red (Dakota red?) Anyone know if there is a rattle can color available and what it is?
Thanks

If you can't find something ready to go, you can probably get the color from one of the HO scale suppliers and have a custom mix put into a spray can. There are companies that do this.

Or, go to Sherwin Williams or one of the other commercial paint stores and have them mix a quart, then grab a cheapo $20 airless paint gun from horror freight. Their paint guns are actually pretty decent.
