What era does the hanger represent and what is going in it? If it's 40's I would think it would be dirtier then a current hanger with a warbird in it.
Don't quote me here as I've had this for a long time and I believe I did successfully use this ratio
As someone who tramped around lots of old WW2 airfields in the 1980s its always a surprise to see photos of them in service. Everything was new, faced off and level at the time.Ok, honestly was getting frustrated with my inability to paint a convincing cement surface for the inside of the hanger, and I was not even considering the concrete apron outside!

I have to cover it in its entirety and yet not so heavy that the black "seams" don't show through. Seems simple enough, but I keep screwing it up...
