 I have an Athearn SDP40 (MRL) that I got a couple years ago and it does not fit what I want to model now. I bought a couple SDP undecorated shells on ebay and I want to paint them to BN or BNSF SDP40 and add a few detail pieces like a plow, wipers, mu hoses, and shades. I do not have an air brush, so I was thinking of using spray paint cans. Will the results look ok? Also what color do I need for my green (and black and white?) Should I paint the shell and then add detail or should I add the details and then paint? Thanks for any insites. Greg
