Hi Bob,
Sorry, but I am getting more confused by your comments. :-)
Here's what I did: I built the model (pewter metal), primed it, then
painted it with Floquil, sealed it with Glosscote so I could apply
decals, applied the decals, sprayed Dullcote so that it is not shiny and
to seal/protect the decals. Pretty standard stuff. I haven't weathered
the model yet (haven't worked up the nerves yet). If you are referring
to using ScaleCoat, well, that's a different issue. I personally really
like Floquil. I used ScaleCoat on one of my freight cars and wasn't at
all happy with how it came out. We each have our preferences.

Sorry that I missed that step. The ALCo looks great, but why add one more coat
of anything over a well detailed/built model like that? After 50 years of
modeling I have to agree with the pro model builders, Floquil paint is good for
weathering and wood structures, not much else.
