I'm the rather new editor of the NMRA/PCR/Sierra Division publication Short Line. I had emailed you but realize you are busy. Tony Thompson said I needed to get permission from each person. Our recent contest has weathering cars. The discussion on the STMFC Yahoo group was a perfect addition. I would like to publish them in our Division newsletter and will happily give credit. I've included your text below. I'll also give you the link for the newsletter when it comes out. Thanks for considering my request, Gary Ray - "Short Line" Editor Magalia, CA (530) 873-0626 -----Original Message-----
From: STMFC@... [mailto:STMFC@...] On Behalf Of Andy Sperandeo Sent: Monday, March 07, 2011 7:05 AM To: STMFC@... Subject: Re: [STMFC] Weathering Couplers I spray Kadee couplers with various colors of Polly Scale thinned with distilled water per instructions (10 percent water) and 6 to 8 drops of Liquitex Flow aid per ounce of spray mix. I airbrush the couplers with several light coats of paint from different angles. My couplers still work after the paint dries. If yours don't work after painting, you must be spraying too heavy a coat of paint. Remember, they're just couplers, and a perfectly uniform color isn't necessary and probably not even desirable.
