THIS is GREAT NEWS!!!
Scalecoat II is my all-time favorite paint for my UP and SP engines and rolling stock, and my hoard of it is getting smaller and smaller (like no more "Oxide Red" on my paint shelf).
I never used the original Scalecoat because it ate plastics, just like original Floquil did/does, but Scalecoat II, being thinned and cleaned up with plain ol' "paint thinner" and producing a very durable gloss finish on brass models when baked in my toaster oven without the need for a detail-hiding coat of primer, was by far, in my estimation, the best model railroad paint on the market.
I remember way back in the Eighties, taking several different brands of model railroad paints' Armour Yellow and Harbor Mist Grey versions and making color chips by spraying the colors on Styrene squares...letting them dry for a few days, then taking them to the UP Riverdale Yard, asking for permission at the yard office to compare them with the real UP engines on the tracks...with Scalecoat II being the decisive winner...and Floquil being the winner for severely faded Armour Yellow.
Very happy indeed to see it being revived!
Cheerio!
