Hi Dale,
The book Alvie recommended is available on the "Shopping" section of this Web site.
I'll also take the liberty of recommending two MODEL RAILROADER articles of my own: "Brass GP50 in Santa Fe colors," April 1984, page 114; and "Painting a brass steam locomotive," November 1986, page 146.
Both of those describe painting with Floquil paints, but I use Polly Scale acrylics now because they're safer and allow easy cleanup with soap and water. Except for that, pretty much everything I explain in those article is still how I do it today.
If you don't have the back issues you can order photocopies of those articles from customerservice@kalmbach.com.
Good luck,
Andy
