Thanks, jRatz! Yes, I really like the way it works, and I hope it works well for you too! I don't know what stores you have where you are, but I get mine at a Michael's craft store, and I've seen Krylon paints in hardware stores as well. Cheers!

The soft pencil gives a great subtle effect for areas worn through to the metal and I must give that a try. Dry brushing with metallics such as silver or aluminium has to be done very carefully to avoid overly bright areas. You are a mine of useful tips here, Canuck!
