Well, I finally got around to buying an airbrush so I was able to paint armor with the U.S. Med Green on top of a silver color.  I attempted to use rubber cement to mask the scratches and dents but wasn't happy with the results.  It looked great in terms of making the paint look layered (because it was) but it wouldn't conform to where I wanted it to go as much as I'd like.  I ended up sanding it off and just repainting it green.  I decided to just paint the dents topically and to physically score the surface of the paint to bring out the silver underneath for the scratches.

 

I got VERY motivated last night and took the green armor and went to town with painting on the damage.  It's not done but I'm pleased with the progress.

 

Here's some pictures of the progress.  Please excuse the poor photography... it was late (3AM...ouch!)
