Does anyone have any recommendations on what paint colors to use for present-day NJT orange, grey, and black? I would assume a basic grey and black would work but I am looking for all of the colors to match the Island Modelworks NJT decals. Thanks for the help!
Well reefer Orange seems to be the closest orange. At the very least, it matches the microscale decal sheets. The NJ Transit decals by Herald decals are a darker orange, but not significantly.
by grey, I assume you mean Silver? Technically the locomotives are Platinum Mist.
Take your pick with black. Engine black will look wrong initially, but if you give it a crystal-coat, it looks about right. You'd need to put on a somewhat gloss finish to add the decals anyway.
