I'm a little reluctant to say this, but here goes. What you've done is a pretty good start, but it's too uniform to be convincing. I suggest that you look at pictures of real cars and try to copy what you see. Not all weathering should be done with an air brush. A regular paint brush will do a lot of things that an air brush can't. The use of multiple colors and washes will give you a better effect.
I weathered this hopper from a photo I found on railpicturesarchives.net. I only used a paint brush, but I did use two colors of paint. It was my first try, and it was good enough to win the popular vote at our NMRA division meeting. I used regular latex wall paint with varying degrees of water. The nice part, if you don't like it, you can wipe it off. This was actually my second try on this car.
Sorry I played critic, but you did ask.
I know you can do better, you just need a little input.
