Having made such lining errors (not really improving due to anno
domini), I have had resort to heavy weathering although I always try
to maintain a variety of degrees from light to total.   My source is
the cellulose thinners wash pot which with the aid of the addition of
extra matt black from tie to time produces a realistic finish. The
degree is dependent on the number of passes. Water leaks are provided
with the addition of some white/ light grey in the spray pot.

Equally, my inability to easily obtain Humbrol No3 (Brunswick Green)
and having to substitute No76 (Uniform Green) is compensated by
similar weathering.

Of course, if it is really gross then, it has to come off!

Brunswick Green consists of equal parts of Prussian Blue and Yellow Ochre is 
that's any help?

A real combo of S&DJR & Railtrack!

I have dozens of cans whose lids are coloured - often completely
differently from the contents and until recently no means of using the
numbers as idents . This has lead to some really hopeful combinations
and others which change so much in drying that one is left wondering
if it ever really looked the part in the first place! When I got to
thinking about it, there was never a time when rolling stock managed a
homogeneous colour scheme so my efforts are probably realistic.
