One thing you said about the Bragdon and Dullcote--when I was talking to the rep at the train show we missed each other at, she recommended that you spray the car first, and then apply the powder, instead of vice versa. I tried this on a gondola and it seems to work pretty well--also tried it on one of my Yellowstones--spraying with Dullcote and then applying the weathering, and it worked out really well. I haven't noticed any deterioration from handling the loco yet, but I'll keep an eye out for it. I really like the stuff. <br />Tom [:D] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Hi Tom, <br />Instead of Dullcote, try Krylon's Matte Finish. I bought a large 12 oz. can for $1.50 on sale at Wal-Mart. Somebody on this forum mentioned that Krylon creates a flatter fini***han Dullcote and I think they're right. Plus, Krylon is a lot, lot cheaper. <br />[/quote] <br />Don't bother. It left a crappy finish and ruined one of my cars. <br /> <br /> <br />Matt
