Paul, <br /> <br />I paint my track with an airbrush. I shoot the various shades of rust color on the rail sides from a low angle, then color the ties from directly overhead. I use very dilute paint and use only 10 lb of air pressure. This keeps the overspray to a minimum. I clean the top of the rail with a clean cloth just dampened with laquer thinner. I use code 70 flextrack for most of my layout and I have experienced no problems. I paint all the turnouts on the layout using a brush so I can keep paint away from the points and other moving parts. <br /> <br />Tom
