I was wondering, what y'all use or used for an oxide red for a box car? A non oxide is too glossy for me! I was thinking of red oxide primer from the auto body guys for my project boxcar.

According to the Canadian National Railroad site, for freight car red, they recommend Dark Tuscan Oxide made by Modelflex. It is a water based paint.

Hmmm. When you said, "Boxcar Red," I expected a biography of a Communist hobo. This was good, too, though.
