Continuing with the trio of Great Western wagons, I have now painted them: a coat of grey primer, followed by a coat of matt (or satin) black, then brush-painted with Humbrol #79 blue-grey, and a coat or two of SECR wagon grey (which is the closest colour I have to GWR wagon grey). I removed the wheels and couplings before painting the wagons. The van roofs have had one coat of white primer sprayed over the grey primer, followed by a coat or three of Humbrol #34 matt white.

The photos show them after the black coats then after the first coat of wagon grey. I'll continue until I am happy with the result, then I'll decorate with suitable transfers (more pictures will follow to show these steps).
