I'm curious, how most of you paint black diesel locomotives? When painting steam locomotive, none of us use straight black but instead variation of warmer and lighter tones. Is it recommendable to do the same for diesel locomotives? I ask because I'll have a few diesel to paint in the early CN wet noodle scheme. Almost all black. From my experience building resin garage kit, I always found out it was wiser to not use pure black because it kills the details and weather badly.
It is also important to say I will represent locomotives that would have between 10 and 15 years in service without repaint.
@jwb: I followed your advice and the spark arrestors looks quite good sitting on the body.
Thanks!
