I bought both of these a long time ago, and it's high time I actually finish/paint the damn things.
Was wondering if there were any good tutorials on painting these to give them that worn metal look? My plan was to putty up any gaps, prime, paint a few coats of automotive silver paint, add top coat, paint a few coats of satin black, use fine sandpaper or plastic scouring pad to wear certain areas back down to the silver, and then top coat again.
I don't think it's a bad plan per se, but it seems pretty rudimentary. Are there any other resources that might guide me to better results?
Thanks much,
