I only colored the exterior with the chalk, leaving the interior gray/brown from the washes. I'm thinking of adding a coal load to the car later and using it to deliver coal for my stamp mill's steam engine. I used Testors dulcote to seal the chalk. I've found that since the chalk 'sinks' into the wood, the dulcote doesn't remove it like it would on a painted surface.
Next, the truss rods.
