Has anyone managed to find a paint match for the SR brown and L&B grey wagons?
I have a number which need the lettering painted over.
Otherwise I will have to take the lazy hat off and completely repaint.

For the SR brown wagons I used ether Tamiya XF-10 Flat Brown or XF-64 Red Brown. After looking at the wagon I did I think it was XF-64 I used. It's incredibly close. XF-10 is lighter.

Can't help with the L&B grey wagons as I don't have any of those, yet.

You may still find that it is worth taking the transfers off before painting because they stand up above the original finish. If you do that then you can still touch up with the right paint. I have found that a fibreglass pencil works best for that.

Thank you for the advice- I have removed all the transfers and repainted the affected areas. I will post the results on my blog as below in the next few days- I still cant post pictures- always say the file is too big!
