Yep that made the difference. Tried the process again on the lighter half and left it 10 minutes before wiping off. That gives the paint that bit of time to set, and it remains better in the panel line recesses and leaves a thin darkening layer on the main panels once rubbed off. This enables a happy medium between the dark and light shades.
I also noticed that after drying overnight (or longer) the black oil is pretty permanent even when turpentine is put on it. This is great as I was planning on doing some rust streaks also with oils (like in one of Spencer Wests weathering videos) with Burnt Sienna colour from memory. Gives a great streak effect and realistic used detailed look.
