Hankyu maroon/burgundy color paint

[Gordon Werner]

Can anyone advise what paint to get in the US to approximate the color that Hankyu uses on their trains? 

 

thx,

This Japanese Wikipedia page is all about 'Hankyu maroon' and 'Hankyu ivory', although mainly digital colour palettes are mentioned. Maybe there are convertors to paint colour palettes? I guess it also depends on what kind of paint you are looking for.

I was able to find a bunch of Japanese sold paints and spray paints. These are all intended for use on plastic models, so it really depends on your use case whether these are useful or not.

but are they available in the US? since paint is hazmat usually you cannot ship it.  I need to repaint an old model that is covered in scratches and just need a paint color that will look like it belongs.

 

also that wikipedia page 404s (or the wikipedia equivalent)

On the other hand water based acrylics are safe to transport and should be non toxic.
