                        Weather it with the appropriate ground color and dry brush it with a lighter shade of the base color. Keep any "aluminum" showing through to a minimum as it wil be too bright.

                        A regular black wash would do to bring out the details and shadows.

                        I've got some pages from the old M163A1 technical manual (operator's manual) scanned into my motor pool gallery. Kind of a collector's item since the US Army stopped using this platform in the early 90s.
