Thx, I used Earth Colors from Woodland Scenics.Raw umber,burnt umber and yellow ochre. Cant remember where I read about it, maybe TK409 site. Put on darkest to lightest with a rag. It was so simple. It does wear off though, and will wash off with a little salt water. I was scared to weather at first, but the armor looks soooooooooooooo much better!
