Dear all,

I'm building a military dozer, and I've seen others replicating the worn, metallic surface of a well-used dozer blades pretty convincingly.

My guess is that they use the hairspray technique on a grey-brown base, which they make metallic looking by using graphite dust. This is a conjuncture, however. Can anyone point me to some tutorials or give me some ideas about the actual color to be used, and how to recreate the metallic shine, and the worn paintcoat?

Thank you.
