Alclad2 for a Natural Metal Finish - 8
23: The seat color is another custom mix of
PollyScale 1/3 Intern Blue and 2/3 Penn Central
Green. This mix simulates the green coach seat
color that I saw in a photograph of the prototype.
I did not paint antimacassars (headrest covers)
on the seats as I normally do. I am currently
experimenting with producing them from white
adhesive labels on a printer that can cut very
small, rectangular shapes. Prior to painting the
seats I paced tape on the center isle of the car to
protect it from any wandering paint.

24a-24b: PollyScale Dirt, Aged Concrete, Earth,
and Earth Red were used to make color washes.
I thin the paints 70% with water – seven drops of
water to 3 drops of paint. The washes are applied
"medium wet" on to the trucks and underframe
in vertical strokes with a #1 Taklon paint brush.
Capillary action enables the paint mixes to fill in
the tiny nooks and crannies on the underframe
and trucks.
