Title: Floquil Color Samples
Post by: Keep It Rusty on May 13, 2024, 08:47:16 AM
Hey everybody --

I am working with a well-known paint supplier to bring back some of our long-lost favorite paint colors from Floquil.

We are looking to recreate the following colors in acrylic and I need some paint chips/samples on some white paper. A well exposed/white-balanced photograph of them all would be all that is needed...

Driftwood
Roof Brown
Earth
Grimy Black
Depot Buff
Box Car Red
Coach Green

If any of you have these colors on your shelves still and can do this, maybe we can resurrect these colors in harmless acrylic form!

Thanks in advance.

As long as the new paint comes with the familiar Foquil aroma ;-))

Ah, that aroma "known to the state of California to cause cancer."  :-(  (Floquil's solvent was particularly nasty set of chemicals, apparently.)

Craig, I had a mail hiccup, I'll resend the message.
