I dunno, maybe some krocus(sp?) cloth taped to your
fingers while shooting would give a more natural look?
 That battle-scarred M4 is probably worth more with
most of its paint gone than if Shintaro did his magic.
There was that now infamous black paint M4 on the
auction site, with a tantalizing story in the
description, that fetched 2,500 I think.  So, either
shrink wrapped in sealed boxes, or rubbed raw with use
are the two extreme quintessential collectibles.

Cheers,

P
