Thanks, Kevin!
Last night I airbrushed a coat of black on the car, and a coat of wheel/truck grime on the, er, wheels and trucks. My grime mix is half & half graphite (non-metallic) and dark burnt umber. Any shading or weathering over that will make the trucks look newer or older.
The black turned out okay...except a few spots where it has brushed off the details showing a bit of brass or white styrene. :x I must not have cleaned well enough or I may have touched the model too early. I still need to touch up areas that were under the tape mask for the lettering. Looks like the basic black I used (good old Delta craft paint) will match well the existing black.
After touch-ups and maybe some weathering tonight I'll post pictures.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
