Here are photos of another painting jig. These are from a
video by Ron Marsh of Ron's Trains N Things.
The jig consists of a block of wood and two bamboo skewer
segments. The skewers are placed in holes drilled to the same spacing of the
bolster screw holes in the model to be painted. The block of wood needs to be
fairly wide to provide stability when spaying paint from an airbrush or rattle
can.
Very simple.
Be careful about where you store this jig as you don't want
to accidently puncture your hand if the points are exposed.
Here is a link to the source video, which is about
weathering tank cars:
Cool! Maybe now make one that's adjustable for different car lengths?

You can do that by drilling several different spaced-apart holes for one of the skewers. One skewer stays fixed and the other can be put in the right hole for the car length.
