In the February MR, Jim Six describes how he built a beautiful grain elevator on his new layout and says that he used flat interior latex paint on the structures. Says that it dries very thin; won't obscure details; leaves no brush strokes and covers better than model paints, requiring fewer coats of paint.
Has any one else had tried this? It sure would be cheaper than purchasing several bottles of railroad colors or even many of the available spray paints. I've got a couple of unpainted plastic structures that won't be used on the forthcoming layout so might give it try myself one evening.
