Fine steel wool? Ride at rear of convoy on dusty road? Follow one of our
sand trucks during a snow storm? Park under a tree with a lot of birds? Use
a broom to put paint on? Etc.

Subject: [MV] Making paint look faded...how?

Good morning,
Is there a good way to make a freshly painted vehicle look like it was
painted years ago? A method to cut the "crispness" of the new paint.
Especially as applied to multiple camo colors where the edges between the
different colors need to flow together better. Spraying works ok, but it
doesn't have that continous look of the original, faded finish.
As always, thanks for any information.
