I use Poly Scale and find it good, except for the rust. A couple of technique tips you may find useful: To darken the roof to simulate settled smoke (more for steam era models) spray grimy black from 8 to 12 inches away and let the paint settle on to the roof,much like the dirt would do. To simulate vertical washdown from the roof, usually at the end of the door track or at ribs where rust often begins, set the brush at a very small paint flow. Then, with a quick wrist flip, pass it from the roofline toward the bottom, angling away from the car side, thus allowing the paint to fan out somewhat. CanduRwy
