Yes, the best way is the masking method using a layered painting technique. Go to the link below, you'll have to register but it's a very in-depth tutorial that I wrote up on painting and weathering a helmet which can also be applied to armor.
Helmet paint-up/weathering tutorial
I basically painted the helmet the base color and took a ruler and scrapped at it to make it look like authentic scratches
I'm going to post some pictures for feedback later when i'm able to take some good pictures
