I use a color exactly like Lee's. Next time I may use a darker green/black.

On my previous 3 layouts I used a pleasing forest green as a fascia color.  This time around, though, I felt I really wanted to show off the colors on the layout more.  I went with flat black on 1/8" Masonite:







I really like how the black sets off the layout top.  I'll be using black from now on.  However, using a flat color is probably not the best choice as I've found it scuffs very easily.  I'll be using a satin or eggshell finish next time.

This is why I don't paint my facia. I apply self-adhesive vinyl shelf liner material (Contact or equivalent). It's much more durable, and hides things like screw heads, joints and other cosmetic flaws.

as much fascia as I have, paint is cheaper
