Over the primer, put a yellowish wood color, such as Testor's "wood." Over that put your black paint. Let everything dry thoroughly--days or a week if necessary. Then with some fine steel wool or sandpaper remove some of the black to represent wear. Charles Weston

There is not any fake wood-grain molded into the plastic floorboards, but there is a slight rise to indicate individual boards. The boards are going to be painted black and I want to indicate that the black paint has worn away to expose the wood underneath. As of this moment, I've primed this section of the model, but haven't gone beyond that. Any suggestions?
