Model Railroad Paint

I mainly use Acrylics, depending on the surface area I spray paint.

I will point out that acrylics spray much easier in cool humid weather than hot dry weather. In arizona right now, the acrylic will dry almost as soon as it leaves the airbrush tip, leaving a very rough surface. I usually use floquil for the the initial painting, and then use heavily thinned acrylic for airbrush weathering. Also, no mater what paint you use, a protective finish such as dullcote adds a lot to the durability. I like the model master flat lacquer, but I have heard others who have had success using acrylic flat finishes or even future floor acrylic wax for a gloss finish.

I wonder how much better it would be to use a humidifier when painting in that dry heat
