This car is my next weathering project. I meant to take a picture before I started but forgot. This is a picture of the covered hopper after I have roughed up the sides a bit with a fine grit sand paper.
I used oil paints for adding rust and streaking to the hopper. The first layer of paint that I applied was yellow ochre. I placed small dabs of the paint at the top of the ribs and then dragged it down with a brushed dipped in mineral spirits to cause the rusting streaks.
I repeated the process with burnt umber and burnt sienna. Finally I added small amounts of raw umber for the rust spots. This project now needs to sit for a day to let the oil paints dry before I add dullcote so that I can begin to add some chalk weathering
