Scalecoat

For more than fifty years Scalecoat has supplied modelers and restoration experts with paints tuned to the exacting needs of scale railroad work. Now under new ownership as of June 2025, the brand retains a singular mission: professional-grade products and historically accurate railroad colors that help builders match era-correct liveries and control finish at scale. Known among custom model railroad builders for color fidelity and surface performance, Scalecoat works with partners such as Walthers for smaller dealer orders and operates from Cartersville, GA, shipping within the continental United States.

Shop Scalecoat for model paints and finishing supplies: solvent-based SCALECOAT I high-gloss paints formulated for metal and brass models, alongside other formulations suitable for brass locomotives, plastic rolling stock, and restoration projects. These offerings make it straightforward to compare color, sheen, application method, compatibility, and container size so the material fits the model and finish you plan. Whether you’re matching steam-era liveries, modern freight schemes, or seeking durable sheens for small-scale details, find Scalecoat stock at Resin Society and select the finish that suits your build.
