• Step 1

  The metal bits took 3 different paints:
  -Black
  -Light grey/silver
  -Dark grey

  First start with a base coat of the light grey/silver

• Step 2

  After that has dried a bit (but not completely) take a wet foam brush and paint over the light grey/silver with the dark grey. Use quick strokes with little pressure. The idea is to streak the paints together a bit to add texture to the "metal" A regular paint brush can be used to add even more texture

• Step 3

  This last part is optional and will depend on your tastes/goal. If you want to add some wear-and-tear to your piece, take a wet foam brush and do some quick strokes with the black paint in areas you would imagine some wear appearing. It will reduce some of the shininess and give the paint in that area a more "aged metal" quality.

• Step 4

  Now onto the wood grain. For this one you will need 2-3 different shades of brown. I used 2(?) for my clawshot here. Start with a base coat of your darkest paint.

• Step 5

  Before that completely dries, come in with a damp foam brush and lighter shad of brown. Paint long, gentle strokes. The goal is to streak the two colors together a bit to create the look of wood grain.

• Step 6

  Add an even lighter brown as needed to suit your tastes. Use the same method mentioned in step 5.
