Brian, I would start with a thin gray or white basecoat, you can spray this on if needed with a can of primer. I would also use Polly S colors rather than Floquil, for some reason the paint seems to brush on very well and the brush strokes disappear. I have an airbrush, but still brush paint if it is a smaller job. I just painted a ROCO HO scale Jeep with a brush yesterday, in Polly S Southern Sylvan Green. I had to give it two or three coats to get even coverage over the white basecoat, but you wouldn't know it as it dries very thin. I would probably put the details on first as long as you are brush painting. Good luck.
