Floquil used to have a binder of paint samples cross-referenced to fsn and other government type numbers. I believe it went for about 35.00 dollars. In it where the railroad colors also. I use Polly Scale acrylics whether they are railroad or not. The closest color to what I need is what I use. Since I flat coat my stuff in the modelling process, It is not critical to me whether the paint is gloss, flat or satin.
Model Master(Testors) also has a book of paint samples cross-referenced to many other brands and fsn numbers.
