149th Street Harlem Station

Matt, I am with you. All shops around here offer a wide selection of all colors in high gloss. The satin colors are much less (no gray at all!) and the availability of dull paint is simply lousy. In general is only white, light gray and brown primer and rally black in dull available. The next shop with a small selection of very expensive dull rattle cans is in about 70km.
I tried several times to use gloss rattle cans and for buildings, ground etc. and get it dull with a layer of dull coat. It never worked. Ones gloss ever gloss.

ps. You are making great progress. I wish I had a car float.

Reinhard, I tried this morning with a scrap of material and ended in utter failure just like you did.

I'm seriously thinking about giving it a good spray of dull gray primer then move on building the color with FolkArt acrylic paints applied with a very large brush. Harlem Station was really dirty, so I guess lots of weathering could hide the fact I brush painted the whole thing...

So far, about 90% of the concrete curbs are installed. What a pain. I wish I had done this before gluing the concrete pads to the layout. However, they are so huge it would have made a mess.
