Scalecoat Paint has been a trusted name in model railroading and scale modeling for over 50 years. Renowned for our high-quality finishes and historically accurate railroad colors, Scalecoat has helped generations of modelers bring their projects to life with precision, authenticity, and enduring beauty.

Founded with the goal of providing professional-grade paints specifically formulated for scale models, Scalecoat quickly became the go-to choice for discerning hobbyists, collectors, and restoration experts across North America. From brass locomotives to plastic rolling stock, our products have been used to recreate everything from classic steam-era liveries to modern freight schemes.

In June of 2025 Scalecoat product line was purchased from Minute Man Scale Models and is officially under new ownership by Fusion Scale Hobbies / Fusion Scale Graphics. While we plan to bring the paint line back as well as the addition of many new colors, we plan to tackle the enormous line over some time. For an easy start into our new paint making adventure, we will begin the line with the Washaway paint remover while we work out the logistics of how we would like to bring the paint line back out to molders for years to come!

If you own a hobby shop and would like to set up a dealer account, please reach out to us today! As owners of a retail hobby shop, we want to support you, without great hobby shops there is no hobby.

We are currently working with Walthers to handle smaller dealer orders. Direct dealer accounts are welcome, however direct dealers will be required to purchase by the case vs individual items.
