Punks teach me your ways. Seriously is there a guide on how you did this? I'm assuming you painted then sanded the caps but is there something I'm missing?
Love the looks of this paint job! :thumb:
It reminds me a lot of the
drybrush technique which should work very well for something like this.
Its commonly used in all kinds of model painting, modding, weathering etc, as its awesome for working out only edges and contours of things which (on an weathered look) would experience most wear irl for example.
It basically works by using a (rather rough) paintbrush (or even toothbrush), and scraping of as much paint as possible until it literally will close to leave any marks at all when trying to draw a line...
Kinda like this :

... this way you can easily scrape over the edges of object and the paint will almost automatically only brush on corners like magic since those areas will have the most wear/pressure applied and there for get more paint out of the drybrush! :)
I really hope this might help you Joey! I used to do this for modding and model painting and its really not that hard and can lead to amazing results, just give it a try! =D
Here are also some links and pics for reference, but there is many tutorial on drybrush painting!
