How do you guys do it? I'd like to do a bleached paintjob but the only faded colours i can find are in the yellow thru red range. I'd like to do green. Is there a pale grey/white/dust transparent paint that can be used to age the paint?

The couple times I have done anything like that I just used white primer underneath and sanded the paint until it showed through in places.  Also dry brushed some light grey in areas.

This example is the extreme side, I basically reproduced what happens in nature. Multiple colors, coats, very light airbrush to simulate a spray bomb job. Very little sanding on this. A stiff brush over almost dry paint for the blending. There's laquer, enamel and craft/water based paint on this thing. Sealed with testors dullcoat. It even feels crispy.
