you could try with ripping some scotchbrite pad into little bits, and use some citadel minatures paints like bolt gun metal. now add a little paint onto the pad and rub it on some printer paper to get most of it off. Now just scuff it over the parts were you want to simulate chips ect and you should get some nice paint chips ect just try different colours.

I wouldnt use Tamiya acyrils as they dry very quickly and may leave streaks

i normally use Tamiya's german grey for the chipped paint

i apply them on with a small paintbrush, just dont overdo it!
