CNJ green as on RS units?

[Joetrain59]

Can anyone recommend a Scalecoat color that's close to CNJ green, as used on Atlas RS-1?
 I have printed color swatch folder, but don't trust that at all.
 Thanks,

I don't know if this is an appropriate reply because I have never used Scalecoat. But with Model Flex, CNW green plus a little black makes a perfect match for the green Atlas uses.

   +1..I don't use Scalecoat,[yet..] but Floquil CNW green & black is exactly what I've been using..I have a CNJ SD35 I painted,you'd have a hard time telling it from my other two Atlas factory painted units..

I just called the Model RR Shop in Dunnellen, NJ  for you and was told Tru Color has the Deep Sea Green and Austerity Green in their lineup.

THANKS Ljudice. Very nice of you. Yes the problem is Floquil not around anymore. Only LHS by me is Hobbytown, but a good selection of paints. Maybe he has some of the paint mentioned.

No problem - they used to handle Raritan Bay Hobbies who used to make the CNJ paints.  And there are many hardcore CNJ
modelers there.
