Before I tackle a white Carnation version, I have a proposal and I would like your opinion or preference; here goes:

Finished are 2 versions with unique car number. Since I cannot use its embedded auto-numbering feature, I will do a series of 3 reefers :
1. a clean version

2. a heavily dirty version

3. Which version should the third reefer be
- a) another clean
- b) a slightly dirty version (only at bottom of car body)
- c) heavilly weathered or dirtier (thinking of flaking the Carnation can *!twisted!* :) ) !*hp*!
... SO ? !*don-know!*

I would vote for another dirty version, maybe just a less heavy on the dirt. Regardless of the weathering, the cars are looking good!

A lot of the billboard reefers were hand lettered/painted by skilled sign painters.
Here's some info.
