Weathering Trepidation

I agree with what I've read in these messages. I started with dry brushing acrylics and using chalk on old cars. I put off weathering valuable things (to me, any smooth-running engine or a Kadee car is valuable) but gained confidence, tried it, and liked the results. Recently, I've even experimented with using spray cans of primer (for rust) and flat black sprayed directly (but sparingly) onto cars then using a soft brush and paint thinner to brush off as much paint as possible (not the original paint ;-)). The results are surprisingly good, I think. I've seen overly weathered cars and engines that look like they were caught in a mud ball fight, so caution against over doing it, except for a special effect <br />PS, I'm new to this. Who is Aggrojones?
