Floquil paint RAILROAD RR colors brand NEW factory SEALED 1 oz sold individually

I have been weathering trains for over 50 years and I can honestly say FLOQUIL is the BEST PAINT EVER.It is Acrylic/Enamal formula spays on in a SUPER FINE MISTY light dusty coat. ALL water base paints goes on clumpy and orange peal globs, no matter how much you thin it down. This is due to the surface tension nature of WATER that it is made out of. FLOQUIL drys in a FLAT surface finish, perfect for WEATHERING. I know the price seems high, that is because for the last 10 years i have been searching Hobby shops for Floquil paint, and its ALL GONE. You cant find Floquil anywhere. No more is being made or available. The company went out of business 10 years ago.
