I haven't done enough armour, or inspected up close, to comment on casting marks. But I have tried drybrush as Kevin mentioned - both lighter and darker than the base colour, sometimes going back in with the base colour - I liked the slight stipple effect of rough mettle you can get. If you are afraid to try it on your model - grab a scrap or 'extra' from the shelf and try stuff on that! I agree, this stage can be very fun, especially if you know there is a path to 'undo'.
Yeah I think that is too much weathering for me. I can weather it with out doing that and make it convincing and look the part .. without making it downright dirty. Thers a line there I think and perhaps your right or I just found mine for the time being..
You have seen my work, not bad not pro level though. I am happy where I am for now with things.

Or the underside of this model. I often use that to test things I want to use on the upper side but am not yet sure about. All you need is to try a small patch there.
