I used auto upholstery paint in the rattle can, works like a charm.

I became a little curious.. if you are "faking" documents, to make them look old you can use coffe / tea solutions and then dry the paper. Would this also work on fabric? Hmm.. anyone tried?

I actually take each piece individually(flight suit, spats, vest, etc....) and litterally rub them into the hub caps of the wheels of my jeep. REAL DIRT!!! It looks good in my opinion, and there's always more when you need it.

You can also use water colour, like the children use for painting, just rub it in to your liking and then seal it with hairspray, and I believe you can seal just about anything with hairspray. Works great on plastic, fabric - you name it

I use about all the above, including the brake dust off the rims, as well as matte fabric paint and a bit of water. Works well and won't wash out, more importantly.

for my first (and very terrible) boba costume i made it in october so there were still some leaf piles around. so i rolled around in a wet nasty pile of leafy filth and got some good weathering all around.
