Good job! It's a fairly simple technique. Spray the base color onto the part(s) and allow to dry. Then, spray a light coat of hairspray over the painted part. Let the hairspray dry. Then, spray on the color (acrylic) you want to weather. Using a toothbrush and warm water, scrub the part until you start seeing the top layer of paint come of and expose the base paint. The warm water softens the hairspray, allowing the top layer of paint to come off.

This came out pretty good, though the straight lines in the weathering do bother me. I have a tough time figuring how a 1:1 would weather with such straight lines. Probably little more scrubbing to randomize those edges would improve it greatly.

Again, the weathering does look good and believable in most areas of the hood. :)
