  NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT ! 
We are introducing a new line of restoration paints for American Flyer postwar trains and accessories.
These paints are acrylic enamels, unlike other restoration paint on the market. They are "rich" in pigment, so that we can almost guarantee single-coat coverage and fast drying.
We don't think you can get a better color match than you'll get with these paints ! Try one and you'll be impressed ! (Obviously, you have to allow for the fact that your original painted items have probably faded a bit in the past 50+ years ! )
At this point, we have them available only in 11-oz spray cans, and only in the following colors:
ACCESSORY GRAY (e.g, Mystic Station base)
ACCESSORY GREEN (e.g, Mystic Station roof)
350 ROYAL BLUE
755 TUSCAN (e.g, Stockyard shed)
474 ROCKET GREEN
740 HANDCAR ORANGE
952 HEAVYWEIGHT GREEN
952 HEAVYWEIGHT MAROON
