I use a Floquil CN Grey which I brush paint after the
base coat of Scalecoat
Engine Blacked has been baked on. Once this is dry, I
lightly blotch the
firebox with Floquil brown and some black. This is thinned
and dabbed on
with a small brush, but lightly done. I decal the
locomotive before
anything else, seal it and lightly airbrush with dust and
very thin grime
low down on the drivers, wheels and tender base. Heavier
weathering is up
to you. Most steam up through the early fifties was kept
clean.

Subject: [CBQ] Painting firebox
I am just starting to paint an HO O-5 and am wondering
what others have used
to paint the firebox and smokebox?
List Floquil as well as I still have some.
