We could go on for days about weathering techniques. Truth is there are probably as many slightly different techniques as there are modelers.
This should help get you started..... https://armorama.kitmaker.net//features/60
and this http://www.missing-lynx.com/articles/other/awpaint/awpaint.htm
and...... http://www.missing-lynx.com/rareworld.htm
Check out these articles and come back with your questions and remember.....Too little is way better than too much, nothing looks worse than an over-weathered model. When you think one more bit will be perfect...STOP, it's done.

Crossfire,
Reading all the info you can find will really help. But the thing that you need to do after your reading is get an old model and experiment. You can't expect to get good results right away, because you probably won't (I know I sure didn't!)
Practice makes perfect!
