A new technique for me

Here's something different I tried with weathering. I had an Athearn PRR Boxcar that the color was just way off on. I don't understand why Athearn did stuff like this, I guess they just ran out of cars to paint, and some flunky pulled out a batch for another road, and they figured any color works for the PRR. Well, that problem is history, since I did this.

Well, anyway, I used some washes, and flooded the sides and hit the roof a few times. I scratched the areas where the doors slide open, the camera didn't pick it up too well, but they're there...Here's pictures of the sides and the top:
