So for Road to Glory the majority of the props needed to look worn and aged. Through trial and error I found that for metals you need to first apply a base coat, I used spray paint, to the metal so the actual coat of paint won’t chip off. Next, you use sponges and a variety a watered down version of the colors you need to give the metal the proper texture and look. Finally you apply a clear layer to add protection to your paint and that is how you age metal through paint.
