I like using Tamiya paints, Vallejo, and Floquil. I have about 75 bottles of Floquil and Floquil Stains.
A friend gave me twelve bottles of Floquil that he has never opened or used last week. And I know of a LHS that is currently selling nos Floquil at $5 a bottle till they are gone. If you have any Floquil Weathered Black, don’t use it, sell it on Ebay, it’s being sold for more than $65 a bottle!!

Welcome to the forum @814pennman Rich!
Thanks for the info on the ebay price!
Love Floquil Weathered Black 
for the base coat Looks like that lat two bottles at $50 each was a steal 
Definitely will be keeping and using my half dozen bottles of Floquil Weathered Black
I wouldn’t sell for $500 a bottle 
Whenever my Floquil’s all gone I’m definitely out of this hobby.

C’mon Wade when your Floquil weathered black is gone you can switch to AK Real Colors Dunkelgrau. Shoots and looks just like it!

Thanks guys, I have been a member before but I do appreciate your welcoming me again. I am strictly a railroad scratch builder and I have a couple of builds on this site now. One is Martins Machine Co, but the thread that was added to the post was from my old forum, which is currently offline.

Welcome, Rich! Thanks for the tip - I need to go scrounge through me paints. 
For the modelers who make studio scale Star Wars stuff, especially from the first episode of 1976 the old Floquil of the 70s are comparable to pure gold, because they are the colors used on the original models, I think there are those who would sell a kidney for some Reefer white or gray of 1975 harvest… 
, as the shades have changed over the years now there is a company in the UK which reproduces faithfully the 1975 Floquil colors for the Star Wars rivet counter’s
Archive X Paint looks very interesting…Floquil color reincarnation. Thank you for sharing @Vicious!!!
Matched to Floquil RailRoad Weathered Black 1975 :slight_smile
