Good tips so far! If you are going for barrel scorching I just prop my blaster up on end and lightly spray/mist some black spray paint to get that used blaster barrel look without getting the brush strokes - you can also use the sponge with minimal paint on it and just lightly dab it on. That method works well for adding scuff marks as well. I also talked with a guy that spray paints the whole prop silver first and then when he paints the full blaster after that he goes back with a kitchen scrubbing sponge and runs that over the parts he wants to make look like weathered metal. Once you are happy with the scuffing, just buff it with an old shirt and then clear coat it. I have copied that idea and been able to get some pretty good results!
