[PRR-talk] Modeling question

[Ted Andrews]

Good Morning Matt:
 
Badger Air-Brush and Paint Company produces a line of paint called Model-Flex. (I think it was called Accu-Flex about 15 years ago) At any rate, they have model railroad colors including Insignia Yellow and Brunswick Green. I have used them on the exact same applications as you (plastic handrails) with great results. The paint goes on well on the handrails by the brush but you may need a few coats of the yellow paint to completely cover. I have never tried these paints out with an airbrush. Like most water-based paints, these dry out very fast within the airbrush.
 
Here is their webpage:

While most hobby shops don't carry these in stock, they can special order them from Walthers who typically has them in stock.
 
I hope this helps you out!
 
Ted

List:
Some time ago in Model Railroader a tip about using a special type of paint on those thin and flexible plastic (ABS?) was given. I believe this type of paint remains flexible even after drying. I am wanting to find a yellow paint (preferably flat as the units are weathered) for the ends of my Stewart Alco Century 628's handrails. Transporting my units back and forth to the club is taking a toll on the paint. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
