My mistake. It's Floquil Railroad Colors Weathered Black; not Flory brand.

Have you seen this? I cannot see Tamiya XF-56 Metallic Gray as a sub for the floquil black

Yeah some of those paint conversion charts are quite questionable. Some colors from different may have the same or similar names but look absolutely nothing like one another.

Looks good,nice job on the mantlet cover.

Yes I have. I don’t see how they suggested Metallic Grey is a good substitution either - especially with the flakes in the paint.

I’ve tested a couple of mixed samples but didn’t even come close. The only color I could find was Life Color Worn Black or Burned Black, Mission Models Worn Black Grey Tires/Camo or even RLM 70. I do have the Mission Models Worn Black Grey Tires.
