Thanks.. Well the weathering went something like this, Six months ago I sprayed on a coat of light grey primer followed by some red oxide primer, then some flat black and then a heavy coat of gloss black, Then last weekend I put it in a zip lock bag and sprayed it with Easy Off, Let that set for a day, then hosed it off, that left it pretty much as you see it, except then I did the detail with artists oils. Hope that make sense.
