Using acrylic paints, I started with a good coat of light grey, followed with a dark grey, then a very dark grey... and then finally a light grey again. My son, who is 9, assisted in the paint application. Involve the kids I always say...
In these photos, the paint was just applied a few moments ago, so it should mellow out when it dries. The sticks on the catwalk will be for the railing. Going to go with a rusted look for the railing.
Anywho, coming along nicely.

Woot!
