You stop when you're either out of paint, or painted your hands, table, lamp, pets, etc....

Oh, wait, you mean per panel..... :tongue:

In actuality, if you can find some articles on armor model panel shading, they help. Also a book called "Building and detailing Sherman Tanks", is a great resource on all kinds of interesting weathering techniques. Then there's the model railroading books....

I mention that particular book because he goes into pretty good detail on using an airbrush for pre-shading, post-shading and panel fading. Plus on how to use the models natural lines to create illusion with weathering. I used his advice on my Spitfire build.
