I use the dullcoat and mask method (or very thin sand-colored paint via airbrush). If you're really lazy, you can purchase precut wiper blade masks.

HEY,
Something that also worked for me is to tape it off like you would for using the dullcoat technique, but instead take a peice of toilet paper or something and dip it in enamel thinner and wipe it over the plastic a few times. Worked good for me and its not extremely "dusty" but its enough for you to tell its there and its very cool lookin.

EZ enough, tape off where the wipers (if any) would travel and shoot it with a light coat of your favorite dull coat.
