| As we have spoken about many time mate,Newspaper is a great medium for weathering .it leaves a nice patina on the paint and give a very cool real world look.The other thing for thick scuff marks is the rubber trim from the lid.Just swipe it across here and there. | |

| Pastels from the art shop are good for weathering as well, but newspaper is my favourite... | |

| Another good way is using a dark acrylic paint wash  | |

| I'm going to try this tonight. How hard do you rub the newspaper? | |

| Easiest way EVER: Black chinagraph pencil. Scribble a bit on there, rub it with a finger, and voila - instant weathering. Removable too. Worked a treat on my Biker, and will work on me Commander soon. |
