Now that Sir. is a thing of beauty!
I didn't read all 7 pages, but I remember Antique stores & furniture makers stressing the the finish on brand new items to make them look old. This happened mostly because that what was/is in style, but sometimes it was intended to separate a fool from more of his money.

The full size one was my fathers duty gun when he was with DeKalb police in the 60s
And he Carried the model 42 on his ankle for almost 20 years
The holster wore away some of the metal
The shiny parts on the snubby are where some of the metal is gone

Man! That rattle can camo job is SWEEEEET! I think I need to pick up some Krylon and try that out!
I figure if I **** it up, I'll just hit it with some brake cleaner and start over.
I think they call those guitars "factory relics" or something like that. I never understood it.
Back when I played, I tried to keep my guitars as nice as possible.
I feel about "BW" like I feel about Fast and Furious when they buy a ragged out truck, clear coat the "patina", and then ask $30,000 for it.
Sure it's your gun/truck, do what you want with it, but don't expect to get "like new" prices for it.
You want to make if look like battle worn, then sell it like battle worn.
And personally, most of the Rust- Oleum crapola jobs look like ****.
