Weathering a TFA Stormtrooper

Any advice on how I would go about weathering a Hot Toys TFA Stormtrooper? I'm thinking of using diluted acrylic paints and sealing with Testors Dullcote. Just afraid that the dullcote might yellow? Appreciate any help!

I'm very interested as well, please post results when you do your weathering.

Will do.

the spray can of dull coat should not yellow as it doesn't contain lacquer (the stuff that loves to yellow)

I did a non permanent weathering job on a loose trooper i bought from Monkey Depot. I used Tamiya weathering pastel kits. I just added the streaks and dirt, plus sand effects from a different kit.
I painted on the blood on his helmet with clear red for the outline, and clear red mixed with a few spots of black paint for the darker inlaid colour.
This method of weathering(The pastels route), will need touched up if you handle a weathered part for posing, but if you're careful and only handle him by a non-weathered area, or use limb extremities to pose him), you will be fine.
