Thank you Herc Driver for taking some of your valuable time to reply and for the kind words.
I'm glad you noticed the area where the door scuffed the paint.
I took at least 20 pictures of CN and CV ( Central Vermont ) boxcars while walking along the CN track down the road.
I noticed that most of the boxcars have that scuffed paint next to the door and I wanted to reproduce it.
Having pictures of the prototype really helps when doing any rolling stock weathering.
That CP car is my test car , if there is any weathering technique I 'm not familiar with then I apply it on my CP testboxcar first
That's why that CP boxcar is way overweathered.
I decided to model CN ( and Grand Trunk ) so I like when the competitor ( CP ) rolling stock looks like a piece of junk.
I'm surprised you mention the light yellow paint because I didn't use any at all.
It might be caused by the settings I used on my Canon Powershot A530 Camera ( I like that model, good quality to price ratio ).
