I know a lot of people do the graphite powder rub on paint to help with a gun metal finish. I was wondering what the proper materials and technique was to accomplish this.
First, the powder. Is this a material in the art section of craft stores and/or just grinding up pencil lead (if so, best way to do it).
I am assuming the paint on the item is dry, then just rubbed directly on... correct? What do most people us, soft cloth?
Is a clear coat applied afterwards?
Any important aspect I am not asking about?
