    Does anyone know which acrylic paint (Polly Scale or otherwise) is close to the Kenefick Green currently used by UP on their MOW cars. It may be one of those "whatever is in the bucket" answers as several greens have been suggested depending on the amount of weathering. Has anybody had success matching it?

    I've been trying to nail this one down for awhile now. Here's what I have from my research:
    -Scalecoat I "PC (Penn Central) Green", which I understand is discontinued
    -Other versions of "PC Green"
    -"NYC Jade Green"
    -"PC Green" with several drops of white to pre-fade it and a half-drop of yellow to warm it up a little (from a post on Trainorders.com)

    I don't have an airbrush rig setup at this time and I was looking for something I could buy in a spray can which I guess makes it even harder to find. I have found several "close" but nothing I would actually use. If I don't find something else I plan to try that last one and see what it looks like.

    Is it not possible to inquire of UP what shade they use and where / who manufactures it for them ? Their Baily yard has great rail fan store and maybe their PIO could help out ... just a guess ..
