    Painting metal wheel faces

    I use the Vallejo paint with no issues. I don't thin the paint either. The rim faces are usually not that rusted from going through switches.

    Weathering Engines a Continuous thread.

    Trucks/sideframes, wheel face colors

    I will rust the whole truck (except engines I do differently) then light spot spray with the brown so it looks like a dirty rust color. The grimy black at the end very light just to tone down and mix in with the rust and brown. How you spray each color will give you different variations. I do...

Before I paint I run 91% alcohol through the airbrush and blast the trucks to get any oil film off. Let them dry and paint. Engine trucks I run them on the track holding the engine and clean with...
