Like devin said,!Chalks. One can go to a art storeor craft store and pick up PASTEL Chalks and apply like devin said and apply dullcote lightly at 18 distance so as not to blow the chalk off the car. I have also done it in reverse, dullcote first before it dries, fine powered chalk(I filed mine down) spread across a sheet of paper, my own self generated hot air, blowing the powder onto the sticky dullcote. This is a shotgun approach, with a shotgun finish,not very scientific. Also consider acrylic paints in a tube or in the jar,keeping the water based paint very-very thin. Depending on the color of the car will determine the color of the paint. For instance, box car red,use burnt umber,raw sienna & burnt sienna. These are some of your inexpensive choices.
