Hi Blazer,
I personnally use a piece of the scratch face of a domestic sponge. You dip it in the shade you need then you tap your model on the wanted areas.

Here is how it ends

Hello Blazer,
I like to use Elmar's rubber cement. It's fast, simple and safe to use. There are many ways of applying it, but one of the easiest ways I found was to use a tooth pick. Paint the coat you want the chipping to look, then dab on the rubber cement the areas you want exposed. Then spray on your base coat, a couple light cost, and once it drys all you have to do is rub the cement with a finger or thumb. Another thing I found using this product is the areas of the chipped paint, the edges are not raised. Here is one I did just to show how it works.

Looking forward to see however method you choose.

I've used the salt chipping technique a few times and find it works pretty well for me.
