Thanks for the replies-Cox47-for the weathering,I first wash the car in warm soapy water,rinse well and let air dry. Then I use cheap acrylic craft paint (Delta ceramcoat) black.I make a wash out of it and brush it onto one side then with a paper towel start wiping it off until I get the look I am after. I repeat this for the whole car. If your wash is too thin just add some more black.Before the black dries I use the same towel that I wiped the car down with to add some heavier black areas.You can always re-brush and re-wipe an area if it doesn't look right. Once the black is dry I then use terra cotta to simulate rust. This I dry brush onto the car.Just dip a little of the brush into the paint and then wipe off excess paint. You can also add any other colors you want. Once you are done and if it looks good spray it with dull coat. If you don't like it just take an old tooth brush and run it under warm water and remove the paint and try again. I use a similar method for my buildings.Hope this help.NJ Bob
