Tom, I've had good luck painting Delrin parts with Modelflex. If you can't find a match, just use something close and then paint over the Modelflex with your final color.

First, thank you for all the suggestions; I have learned quite a bit about dry transfers. I think for the level on the job at hand DTs will be okay. Appling them to a flat finish sounds like the easiest thing to do. Finding the decals you want in S is a real lesson in frustration. The only freight car ladders I’ve been able to find are Grandt Line Delrin plastic. I seem to remember hearing that Delrin is not very paint friendly… so what to do? I would like to do one stop shopping this time. I ordered some Kadees from Trainworld… the price was good until they shipped them – a giant box with a couple of Kadee envelopes inside for $16 in shipping. Never again! Thanks again, Tom Stoltz In Maine
