The regular spray can paint pigment is not ground as finely as model spray paints. Floquil makes a nice line of spray cans, and the coverage is really good with a few thin coats. For brick buildings, you could get (for example) box car red, and use that to "prime" the building. Then go at it with the craft paints for weathering and so on. You don't necessarily need to use sprays either - out of the bottle brush painted is good to. The key (I find) is to use a good, plastic compatible paint for the first coat. Then the craft paints stick much better. Andrew
