Does anyone know of a source for the green irridecent paint that is used inside the guages of a C1? Thanks.

Re: Green guage paint
I used, of all things, model railroad paint. (My wife says I have too many hobbies.) The brand is Floquil. The color is Light Green. It is flat and seems to match pretty closely. I buy it by the bottle and apply with an airbrush. Floquil does make some colors in a spray can, but I don't know if this is one of them. If it is too flat for you, overspray it with a clear semi-gloss. You may have to go to a model railroad exclusive store to find it.

I use Laura Ashley Home Colour Collection Satin Heath Green 3, #14049, which I bought in a spray bomb at Lowes. It's actually made by Valspar in Illinois.
I guess they call it a Laura Ashley "Colour" to appeal to your inner feminine self. They could have called it Crap in a Can and still sold it to me. I checked ol' Laura's color chart and she hit that gauge green dead nuts.Comment
