I use bragdon powders, oils, misc. paints, airbursh, dullcote.  There are alot of things you can use you never thought of.  Hairspray for misc. reasons, and even windshiled washerfluid.  That is a great website as loathar posted.  I am a member there and alot of great tips and ideas.  The people on there use AIMS powders, and I haven't tried them yet.  Its a hobby you have to practice and practice on.  One car will look great and then you do another and something messes up.  Copy and paste my website in my signiture, and check out my weathered secton.  Just practice and it will take ALOT of patience.
