It's not Floquil, but I think you can match Weathered Black to one of the standard artist Neutral Gray range:

Dave,

Thanks, I do have several of the Golden colors but not the grays. I'll go to Sam Flax and check them out.

The roofs look terrific Tom.

Much appreciate the comment Butty, Thank you.

Tom, nice job repainting the roof.
All the painting and details added are bringing the roofs to life.

Rick,

Thank you as well. The roof was an easy fix. I emailed Doug Fosscale for some HO TV antennas. They would be perfect for this roof, so far nothing back.  He is busy.

Looks great, Tom! If I spill paint I'll be a dead man walking given I work mostly in the living room. I'd have to throw my body on the floor to protect the rug! 

Butty Bob,

Thank you and yes, you best be careful, very very careful.

Nice job painting the roofs Tom.  And the added detail is really nice I like the wooden parts you made up.

Jerry

Jerry, 

Thank you very much. I want to add TV antennas also but I need to get them from FOS.

Coming on nicely, Tom.

I like your colour schemes.

Cheers, Mark.

Mark, Cheers,

Thank you, the colors are pretty much neutral to my eye and camera.

Howdy Tom,

I like the color variation of the roofs and subsequent weathering, just excellent.

Sorry for the loss of all that paint.  I think we've all spilled something, mine was a whole container of Dr Bens black pigment, that I'm still trying to get off the floor, a year later.

Have fun,
mike

Mike, Howdy,

Thank you. Yea, the paint was a bummer but if that is all I have to worry about then I'm in great shape. I don't think you will ever get the black pigment out of the carpet.

I forgot to mention one other addition I made to the roof.

Two sections on the roof have rolled roofing and two have a rough surface. The roof on the one end was very smooth and I wanted to add more of a texture.

I cut a piece of sandpaper to fit the roof.



I marked on the sandpaper where the brick chimneys were located.

[ACL1504]

I notched the paper to fit and then pressed to down on the two vent pipes. I also pressed the roof hatch and cut the paper to fit around the hatch.



Of course after spilling the paint, I squirted out to much white glue. I had to wipe most of it off. Yes, it was one of those days.

[ACL1504]

Sandpaper added to the roof and held in place until the glue dried.



I painted this roof section with Floquil Foundation.





When the foundation color dried, I added the weathering. Now you are caught up on the build.

I'll try to get back later but need to crop and add more photos.

Yesterday afternoon and most of today was spent painting the door and window trim.

All trim colors are Floquil. I was a challenge to stay focused but I survived.
