40 foot boxcar rebuild

That looks great. The paint is a perfect match. Well done!

Thanks for the compliments!

As for the paint being a perfect match.... It is close. But actually, I made the paint on the door a slightly different shade on purpose. And actually painted various parts of the door different shades. You can't really tell in the photo.

As DocWayne has said before, don't worry about a perfect match. The weathering will blend it all together. Also, real cars don't weather the same in every part and piece panel, so I actually prefer to have slight variations across the body panels.
