I have no idea if this is the right way to do it but it worked for me.
I had to replace the right rear panel of my Humvee and painted the camo
pattern on the panel before actually mounting it. To fade it I used fine
steel wool as well as a bleach and water mixture. It's been two years and
it's still fine.

Subject: [MV] Making paint look faded...how?
Good morning,
Is there a good way to make a freshly painted vehicle look like it was
painted years ago? A method to cut the "crispness" of the new paint.
Especially as applied to multiple camo colors where the edges between the
different colors need to flow together better. Spraying works ok, but it
doesn't have that continous look of the original, faded finish.
As always, thanks for any information.
