How did you treat the corrugated metal? Did you spray it with dullcote first, followed by gray paint, a la the campbell instructions, or did you do something different? I'll be facing similar choices soon on my Red Mountain Mine.

Definitely spray it with DullCote first. We had a bit of a storm going on when I was doing my roof, and I couldn't take it out to the garage as I usually do to spray it....so I just painted it with a brush using acrylic paint. It was a pain. It was very hard to keep the layers of paint from "peeling" off. Might work better with enamel. If you plan on raising any panels for a beat up look, you will definitely want to do that prior to dullcoting and painting as well.
Hope that helps.
BTW, I would love to see how that project comes along
.......I loved working on the Campbell kit. I learned a lot about scratch building techniques doing it.
