Charlie-Before I painted my tracks,which I did before installing them. I found it easier for me to do it this was instead of installing then first.Not a lot of touch up.I read many articles to see how other modelers did their track and what colors they used. I found a formula that a modeler used and the result was good. He used Poly Scale acrylics.1/2 oz rust and 1/4 oz tarnished black. To avoid having to mix more than one batch,I doubled his formula. The bottles were one oz which made it easy.I used a clean jar with a lid for mixing.I also used rail tie brown for the ties which I haven't weathered yet.
