I use rattle cans but buy them from an auto paints store. Its the rattle cans they use for autos
Its finer pigmented and lays on nicer than 2X coverage stuff and doesn't clog nozzles like home use sprays!
Bad part its expensive but much better product
Yes.
One of my favorite "Eureka!" modeling moments came when, years ago, a wise old 2-rail O-scaler showed me a loco he was repainting. I asked about the "weathered black" color - assuming it was Floquil from an airbrush - and he said it was "Automotive Primer" from the auto parts store. From a can. Rust-O-Leum, I think.
It even comes in different shades of flat gray - light, medium and dark, depending on brand and such. Looks like weathered black to me. Goes on well, and can even be lightly buffed to give an old, formerly black, slightly oily look.
