I prefer Engine Black myself, Weathered Black has too much grey in it for me. I would rather paint it to look realitivly new, then age and weather over the base paint. Of course, that is only one opinion.

I plan to paint my Southern locomotive but I am not going to use basic black . I think I will airbrush either 'weathered' or 'engine' black for a better used look. Which would look better based on your experience?
