Help to paint built up depot

One way or the other, you're going to have to get the window glazing out unless you have a very steady hand. Try using a razor blade and gently prying on the glazing. Sometimes it'll pop out. 

If it were mine, I would wash the building in soapy water, rinse, and let dry. In the picture, it appears almost glossy, so I would spend a couple dollars on some spray primer before painting. With the window glazing out, you can prime the whole building without masking the trim. Try and find a flat paint to topcoat with, it'll save a step.

There's no harm in priming and painting the interior just like the exterior. 

Thanks brr. I tried prying glued glazing on another model and destroyed the grids because they had glued the glazing to the grids. So, I may have to mask. I had another idea. If I found a magic marker in a trim color very close to the eventual trim color.

I have 2 other bldgs so far to  assemble and may acquire another. This one will be the hardest I think.

Thanks John. 

Not being able to remove the glazing is problematic, but not impossible to overcome. If you can live with the green trim you could leave it as is, or get a bottle of dulcoat and carefully brush it on to take some of the sheen off. You could also brush on a different color with a small brush and a steady hand. Lastly, you could mask it off with tape (very time consuming), or try a liquid mask product. I've even used petroleum jelly with some success. 

The first question l want to know is.... "What colors were stations on THIS road in the period l am modeling? Sometimes, the roads changed colors .  

Using google search, I came across these responses:

Thanks PRR. . . Curve.  I have seen those sites too. Interesting reads. I think I am going to go with a cream yellow with brown trim. Of course the lighting is always a critical variable. I will have to look at the acylics available. 

Stick it in the freezer for a half hour or so, then you should be able to pop the window glazing without destroying the frames.
