All:
I am looking for the proper color of yellow paint to use on caboose ends (railings). This would be some sort of "safety yellow". Any suggestions as to paint make & number?
Thanks,
George

Tamiya X-8, Gloss "Lemon Yellow". It's a good match for safety yellow.
BTW, it looks best when applied over gloss black.

Thank you! Some Pennsy experts recommended Model Master 4683 Chromate Yellow, which I acquired. I am going for a dirty, sloppy, rusted look for a mill caboose.

That's definitely not what the Tamiya looks like. It's more of a pristine just applied look.

Yeah, I need something that plays to my strengths - lousy painting skills.
