So I am using a mix of Garee and Norm’s plans and printed out some hprops stickers on glossy paper using a laser printer. I haven’t applied weathering to my pack yet but when I do I know the new stickers are going to stick out like a lot. Does anyone have any ideas on how to age my stickers a bit?
Thanks in advance.
I’ve done this with novelty labels on wine bottles. Take the sticker while it still has the back paper attached, and lay it out on a piece of wood, or any surface really. Get some sand paper, medium grit will do, and start sanding the edges gently, until you get the desired effect. Peel the backing paper away, and stick the sticker onto your pack!
Okay good tip. I’ll give it a try and let you know how it turns out. Thanks
Do you have photos of the results? that sounds interesting…
I’ll try and charge up my camera battery and snap a few pictures for ya 
Another easy way to weather anything is water base paint.
I’ve done this on stickers and painted props. Pick up some water base paint (in the color you want) then dilute it a bit with water. Use a sponge or bunched up paper towel and just blot it on the prop. Us a dry paper town to pick up some of the excess. After a few tries you’ll find it does a great job in getting that dirty or weathered look.
When all done let the paint dry then hit it with a light spray of clear gloss.
Hope this helps…

Something I do a lot in collage/scrapbooking/whatever:
Crumple sticker (with backing still attached, of course)–not so severely that it can’t be uncrumpled, but enough to put some wrinkles in it that stay when it’s uncrumpled
Uncrumple sticker and lay it out nice and flat
Very very gently buff entire surface of sticker with very fine steel wool until you see the wrinkles losing color; hit the edges a little too as Krenzy suggested
You can also stain them with a little strong tea or coffee–dribble or dab on, blot with paper towel, let dry thoroughly.
What i did was fit the stickers new, then weather pack and all at the one time that way they blend in better. I sprayed them with krylon matt varnish, then used pastel chalk to beat them up slightly. The matt varnish also dulls the metallic labels nicely 
I saw someone who put a scorch mark on one of their stickers. That looked pretty neat.
using steel wool or sand paper after you apply it will work.
Remember this about “WEATHERING” - you don’t want your pack to look like you dropped it in the pool and left it there. You want to appear as though it’s been maybe dropped, and bumped into things. so corners, and such. so the sticker on the filler plug and EDA? Maybe a little bit on the edges. the label on the HGA shouldn’t get weathered, it sits lower than parts surrounding it. If bumped into a wall or something, it won’t be scratched. same with the PPD. the bumper label should DEFIANTLY have scratches and be weathered more than your other labels.
Keep this in mind when “weathering” your pack too.
I ended up using a medium grit sandpaper then hitting it with some black spray paint. Turned out okay I think. Thanks for everyone’s help.
I inadvertantly got a nice weathered look on my stickers by trying to add Testors spray gloss to my stickers in hopes of making them more permenant. Because I used ink on sticker paper, the ink faded and the edges got kinda ruddy.

Hi - first time post here!
In a rush this Halloween I didn’t have time to weather in the usual way so got a rag, ran it over a bike chain and smudged the oil over the stickers. Worked well I think!
I really have to control my weathering…I tend to now stick to the edges and a general buff over the stickers and main components…
