Everything's just different shades/intensities. When I paint something that's supposed to be wood, I buy paint labeled "wood", if it's metal, I use "Aluminum, Steel", etc. It was a lot easier when I was a kid. Buy whatever color metal flake paint they had to paint the car body and paint the seats black! I've searched "Wash" and can't seem to find an article that actually explains how to do it. Maybe they could sticky something on the forums on painting and other finish techniques?
