I've built many Fett parts over the past few years, and I just used the mustard trick for the first time this week on my new gauntlets. Basically, you put down your base of silver and then mask off damage with...you guessed it... painted on mustard. Once dry, you paint the top coat, then scrape away the mustard and viola! Instant damage. I think the damage looks much more realistic and random than masking with tape, however, I did lose some of my silver in the scraping process and I went down to gray primer.
