I put a second light coat of paint on the locomotive shell I'm doing up as a Detroit, Toledo & Ironton model. As it dried, I thought I'd need a third coat, but I'm not so sure now. With the addition of some dust or mud in places where the base orange color is thin, it should appear quite realistically rusty and dirty judging by the color photos I have of similar locos.
Then I have decals to apply with road numbers and logos, and finally a light coat of a clear, non-glossy protective finish.
