What I'm about to do may make you wonder through the pictures, but in the end you'll see... First, I used a super fine sandpaper to lightly scuff the surface of the already muttled paint. One, maybe two quick strokes, and that was it to smooth/blend the surface and expose the green a touch more. The next part, utilizes oil paints. I chose dark grey, yellow ochre, yellow ochre pale, and raw sienna. A bit extreme for this example, but I'll get the rest of the truck a bit less (this is the part of the truck box facing the cab). 1. I choose my paints and dot the colors on at random 2. Next, dip your brush in the oil thinner and drag the oil paint down. 3. Continue to wipe your brush clean and repeat the process until there is no heavy paint left. 4. Here's before and after shots. It's not an extreme difference, but what you've now done is create a "filter" of sorts to trick your eyes and dull down the paint and give a better "petina" to the worn paint. I'll continue this process on the rest of the truck. BEFORE AFTER
