IOoh err naughty!
So I thought it would be best if I have a go underneath first. That way if it goes wrong no one will see ;)
I started off with some acrylic paint, which when applied was a little watery. Thats the last thing you want. It is actually better to apply a paint which is quite thick, almost like tooth paste density.
Firstly, I lather a section no bigger than about 4" squared, as you cant paint and dry more than that in one go. If it dries completely you wont be able to buff it off!
Ive found that you have to leave it long enough for the paint to dry enough that it is no longer shiny. The second it is, you get your towel and just start buffing away the paint you have applied.
What you are left with is the acrylic paint in all of the corners, crevices, etc but not on the main part of the body.
Here's my first attempt
This is a plain section
This is 10 minutes later after the procedure above

Then i did the same but detailed some rust/brown colour in
This is the result of approximately 2hrs work
